Esquerdo Pairs Ace on River
Level 3
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Following an open raise to 600, Carlos Esquerdo called and Sergio Denaro reraised to 1,300 from the big blind. The original raiser folded and Esquerdo called.
The flop came 8♠2♠5♣. Denaro c-bet for 1,500 and Esquerdo called. The turn was the 4♠ and Denaro bet 3,000, which Esquerdo called again.
The river came the A♦. Denaro again bet 3,000 and Esquerdo called. Denaro showed Q♠Q♣ for a pair of queens. Carlos Esquerdo flipped over A♣9♣ for a rivered pair of aces to win the pot.
Esquerdo then ramped up the aggression, raising the next hand and taking down the pot postflop to add a few more chips to his stack.
