Auer’s Pocket Rockets Deliver a Crushing Set Against Jorstad
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Matthias Auer opened the action from under the gun with a raise to 7,000, drawing calls from Espen Jorstad on the button and Peter Jaksland in the big blind.
The flop came 8♦7♣2♦, and the action checked through to Jorstad, who seized the opportunity with a bet of 8,000. Auer was the only one to continue, making the call.
The A♥ turn brought no additional aggression, as both players opted to check.
When the 5♠ hit the river, Auer took the lead with a bet of 10,000. Jorstad took his time to deliberate but eventually tossed in the chips to call. Auer revealed A♠A♦ for a dominating top set, leaving Jorstad visibly frustrated as he mucked his cards and the pot slid Auer's way.
