Aces Hold for Estes and the Chip Lead
Zackary Estes kicked things off in the hijack with a raise to 110,000, and Miroslav Alilovic in the cutoff three bet to 260,000. Mustapha Kanit was sitting on the button when he four bet to 580,000. With the action back to Estes, he made it 1,100,000, which got Alilovic out of the way, but Kanit made the call after using one time bank card.
Estes did not back down on the 9♣4♠5♦ flop, betting 400,000 with Kanit calling.
When the 10♥ hit the turn, Estes announced all in and the dealer confirmed 1,725,000. Kanit went into the tank, burning through two time bank cards before making the call, sending the hand to showdown.
Zackary Estes: A♥A♣
Mustapha Kanit: Q♠Q♥
Both had an overpair, but Kanit was behind and hoping for a good river. The river brought the J♦, which changed nothing, allowing Estes to take a big chunk out of Kanit for a chip lead pot.
