Yantsevich Wins Bloated Battle of Ace-Highs
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
A bit under 40,000 was already in the middle by the turn with the board reading 8♦4♣2♦K♣. Andrei Spataru checked from early position to Valery Yantsevich in the hijack who bet 30,000.
Spataru thought for a bit and then called to see the river 4♠.
After Spataru checked again, Yantsevich shut down as well and checked. Fortunately for him, he had the winner.
Spataru showed A♣J♣ for ace-high with a missed flush draw. Yantsevich showed A♠Q♠ for a superior ace-high to take down the pot.
