Short-Stacked Agüero Hits the Rail
Level 14
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Hyun Kim opened to 22,000 in the middle position before David Yan jammed his stack of 140,000 across the line. The action folded to Sergio Agüero in the big blind who sighed called off his remaining stack of 44,000 and Kim mucked his hand.
Sergio Agüero: Q♦3♥
David Yan: J♣J♥
Agüero had one overcard as he cheered for 'Lady Gaga' as the dealer fanned a flop of A♥J♠10♦. Yan flopped a set of jacks but Agüero was still live as he needed a gutshot straight draw. The 4♠ turn and Q♥ river were no help though, sending him out of the tournament.
