Di Persio's Ace-High is Good at Showdown
Level 18
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Marco Di Persio made it roughly 33,000 from middle position and Wojciech Barzantny three-bet the hijack to 96,000. When it folded back to Di Persio, he four-bet to 159,000, which Barzantny called.
Upon seeing the dealer fan out the 9♣3♣8♦ flop, Di Persio placed out a bet of 65,000. Barzantny continued in the form of a call.
Di Persio and Barzantny checked through the 7♣ turn and 9♥ river. Di Persio was first to show and revealed A♥Q♠ for ace-high. Barzantny couldn't beat it as he mucked his cards, surrendering the pot to Di Persio.
