Always An Ace for Motaban
Level 18
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
A pot of 40,000 had developed on a flop of A♣9♦4♠, in a hand between Francisco Motaban in early position and Roman Isaienko in the big blind.
The flop was checked to the 8♦ turn, which was also knuckled to the 9♣ river. Isaienko took a stab at the pot by leading out with a bet of 10,000, and Perez quickly called.
Isaienko tabled J♠7♦ for air, and Perez had K♠K♣ for pocket kings, taking a nice pot control line.
