Kubis Catches Aflalo with Hand in Cookie Jar
Michael Aflalo opened to 40,000 under the gun, and was met with a three-bet to 115,000 from Marian Kubis in the next seat. Action folded back to Aflalo, who called.
The A♦Q♥4♣ flop was quickly checked to the J♠ turn, where Aflalo led out with a bet of 75,000.
Kubis made the call to see the 7♠ river. Aflalo double-barreled with the same bet of 75,000 as the turn, and Kubis responded with a raise to 235,000.
Aflalo took around two minutes before announcing he was all-in with the covering stack. Kubis grimaced, with around 350,000 behind, but made the call in relatively short order.
Aflalo tried to muck his cards, but as it was an all-in and call they had to be tabled. Aflalo had 6♠5♠ for air, and Kubis took the pot with Q♠Q♥ for the flopped set of queens.
