Roiter Rivers Ace to Win Late Pot
Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Nikolay Yosifov raised from under the gun and picked up two calls before Klemens Roiter moved all in from the big blind for 15,000. Only Yosifov made the call.
The flop came 6♦8♦7♦ and Roiter continued for 6,500, which Yosifov called. The turn was the 3♠ and Roiter sized up to 13,500. Yosifov called again.
The river was the A♠ and Roiter switched to a check. Yosifov seemed glad as he quickly checked behind to showdown. He had Q♠Q♦ for pocket queens and had been ahead until the river, but Roiter turned over A♦J♠ for a pair of aces to win the pot as Day 1a drew to a close.
