Janicsak’s Pair of Aces Hold Firm
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Tamas Janicsak opened the action with a raise to 2,200 from early position, drawing calls from Henning Lokenlien in the cutoff and Niclas Thumm in the big blind.
The 2♦A♦8♠ flop saw no bets, as all three players opted to check.
On the 5♠ turn, Thumm seized the initiative with a bet of 3,800. Janicsak quickly responded with a raise to 7,500, prompting Lokenlien to fold. Thumm, after some thought, made the call.
The J♣ river brought no further action as both players checked. Janicsak revealed A♣3♣ for a pair of aces, and Thumm conceded by mucking his cards, awarding the pot to Janicsak.
