Ausmus Left on Fumes
Level 11
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Jeremy Ausmus raised to 20,000 in the cutoff, Elias Gutierrez called in the small blind, and Dan Shak defended in the big blind.
The flop of 2♣8♦K♦ checked through to the 4♦ turn, where all three players checked again.
The river landed the 8♠ and Gutierrez led out with a bet of 50,000. Shak folded and Ausmus raised to 141,000, leaving himself with just 1,000 behind.
Gutierrez thought for a moment, eventually making the call and tabling 10♥8♥ for three of a kind, eights. Ausmus turned over 8♣7♣ for three of a kind, eights with a worse kicker.
