Communal's Aces Hold Against Two Players
Livello 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
At table 149, action was caught when the player under the gun, Laurent Communal in middle position, and the big blind flipped their cards, with two of them being at risk.
Under-the-Gun Player: A♠J♦
Laurent Communal: A♦A♥
Big Blind: K♦Q♦
Even though he was in the lead, Communal started to sweat a little bit on the flop 10♦J♣Q♥, which gave a pair and a straight draw to his two opponents.
But the 7♣ landed on the turn, followed by the 8♠ on the river, keeping Communal's aces ahead.
With a stack of approximately 50,000 chips, the under-the-gun player has been eliminated. Communal took this amount and doubled up on the big blind to reach 196,000 chips.
