Aerts Continues to Double
Level 14
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
On the last hand before dinner break, Mikita Badziakouski raised to 40,000 from under the gun, Jean-Noel Thorel called in middle position and Pieter Aerts three-bet jammed for 188,000 from the button. Badziakouski isolated and Thorel folded.
Pieter Aerts: A♣K♦
Mikita Badziakouski: A♠Q♠
Aerts had a dominating holding, but the 9♠2♦Q♦ flop reversed the lead in favor of Badziakouski.
The 5♦ turn added a flush draw for Aerts, then the K♣ river saw him retake the lead with top pair and he doubled up once more.
