Firsau Wins Aces Against Aces
Level 7
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Max Kruse raised to 15,000 in the hijack and was called by Burak Simsek on the button. Vasili Firsau then three-bet to 62,000 in the big blind, which Kruse four-bet to 215,000.
Simsek eventually got out of the way before Firsau committed his stack of 278,000. Kruse instantly called and the cards went face-up.
Vasili Firsau: A♥A♣J♥3♦
Max Kruse: A♠A♦7♠5♥
Firsau flopped a flush draw on 2♠8♥9♥, and the 5♣ turn gave him a gutshot as well. The latter came in on the 4♣ river, giving him a wheel to double up.
