Menicanin Picks Off Senno With the Better Ace
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Three-handed on a flop of A♥2♥9♣, Mario Menicanin bet 4,000 from early position and Emile Baroudi called before Fredrico Senno raised to 10,000 in the small blind.
Menicanin called, while Baroudi got out of the way leaving them heads-up to the J♦ turn. Both players checked and Senno then led out for 9,500 on the 10♠ river.
Menicanin quickly called and Senno showed A♦4♦. Menicanin, though, turned over A♣K♣ to win the pot with his king-kicker.
"Made it cheap for you," Senno told him.
"Yeah, really cheap," Menicanin replied as he dragged in the big pot.
