Aguero Bends The Two-Outer
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Erwann Pecheux opened to 4,500 and soccer superstar Sergio Aguero three-bet jammed a stack of 53,000 behind him. Pecheux called with a bigger stack.
Sergio Aguero: A♦Q♥
Erwann Pecheux: A♠K♦
Aguero was dominated and Matthew Wantman informed him that one of his outs was dead. "I folded king-queen," he told the table. "I was drawing dead."
The 5♥2♠8♥ flop didn't change anything, but the 2♥ turn created some flush and chop possibilities. "Heart! Eight!" cheered tablemate Daniel Negreanu, whose shirt was recently ripped by Martin Kabrhel "and those long nails he has."
The dealer then put down the Q♠ river and Negreanu and others cheered as Aguero earned the double.
