Asaro Wins the Most Classic Race
Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Daan Mulders opened the action from under the gun with a raise to 16,000. Alm Wilson moved all in for approximately 100,000 from late position, and the action folded to Antonio Asaro in the big blind.
Asaro took his time, eventually explaining he was waiting for a pay jump but planned to call. After a minute, he put in his chips, and Mulders got out of the way.
Antonio Asaro: Q♥Q♠ 
Alm Wilson: A♥K♦
The classic coin flip was underway, and Asaro held firm as the dealer spread 4♣10♠5♦8♥3♦. With no improvement for Wilson, Asaro scooped the pot with his pair of queens.
