Calderone Wins at Showdown With Ace-High
Level 9
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
A pot of around 30,000 was already in the middle as Eros Calderone, Paul Newey, and Quan Zhou went to a flop of 7♣2♠10♠.
Calderone, under the gun, bet 7,000 and Zhou called in the small blind, as did Newey in the big blind.
The turn came the K♥ and Calderone fired out another 16,000. Only Zhou called this time before both players slowed down and checked on the 4♣ river.
Zhou turned over J♠9♠ for missed flush and straight draws, while Calderone had A♥8♣ to win the pot with ace-high.
