Borenstein Dominated By Coleman's Superior Ace... for a Bit
Level 34
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
David Coleman moved all in for 4.45 million from the small blind and Jonathan Borenstein called off for 2.9 million from the big blind.
Jonathan Borenstein: A♥8♠
David Coleman: A♠9♠
The Q♦K♥5♠ flop kept Coleman firmly in the lead, though there was a 26% chance of a chop. However, the 8♣ on the turn hit Borenstein and made him a 93% favorite. The 10♣ river was a brick and Borenstein got lucky to double while Coleman was left with just six big blinds.
