Runcan Cracks Eskes' Aces
Level 29
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Tjenno Eskes raised the cutoff to 100,000 with A♦A♣ and Paul Runcan made it 550,000 on the button holding K♠8♠. When it got back to Eskes, he four-bet to 1,100,000, and Runcan called.
They went to a flop of J♦Q♥2♠ where Eskes checked and Runcan fired 425,000. Eskes called.
A K♥ dropped on the turn and again Eskes tapped the table. Runcan didn't slow down and grabbed a handful of dark chips to make a bet of 900,000. Eskes threw in a timebank and eventually called.
When the K♣ landed on the river, Eskes checked and Runcan checked back, taking it down with his rivered trips.
