Ju Slowplays Aces
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Gab Yong Kim opened to 2,000 from middle position and was called by Samuel Ju on the button and Igor Pihela in the big blind.
Pihela checked to Kim on the Q♥10♣3♠ flop and he bet 3,500. Ju called and Pihela folded.
The 8♦ fell on the turn and Pihela sized up for an 11,000 bet. Ju again called.
Both players checked down on the 3♣ river and Kim announced "Ace high," prompting Ju to table A♠A♣.
"What!?" an incredulous Kim said as he mucked his hand — sending the pot Ju's way.
