Guimaraens and Martinovic Double with Aces
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Antonio Guimaraens raised to 80,000 from early position before Chongxian Yang three-bet to 250,000 from the button. Guimaraens jammed for 1,465,000, and after some thinking time, Yang called as the slightly bigger stack.
Antonio Guimaraens: A♠A♦
Chongxian Yang: A♣K♠
Yang paired up on the K♥9♠6♠ flop to have some hope, but it was Guimaraens who celebrated after his rockets held up after the 9♣ turn and 10♦ river.
Moments later on another table, Dragoljub Martinovic had his stack in the middle and was at risk to Onur Gizir.
It was another aces versus ace-king showdown, and Martinovic sealed the double up on the turn, to double-up.
