Lipnitskii Holds Strong with Aces
Level 33
: 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Vladimir Lipnitskii opened the action from early position with a raise to 500,000, and Piotr Sztenkiel defended his big blind.
Both players opted to check the 7♣8♦7♥ flop, keeping the pot manageable.
The action heated up on the 7♦ turn when Sztenkiel led out with a bet of 800,000. Lipnitskii called, though he appeared less than thrilled with the situation.
When the 5♦ landed on the river, Sztenkiel fired another bullet, this time for 1,200,000. Lipnitskii, visibly deliberating, eventually made the call. Sztenkiel revealed K♥9♦ for king-high, but Lipnitskii turned over his A♦A♠, securing the pot with a full house.
