Pihela Gets Moon to Pay Him With Ace-High
Level 6
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Igor Pihela raised to 22,000 in middle position and Rokas Asipauskas called in the hijack. Dongwuk Moon then three-bet to 84,000 in the cutoff and only Pihela called.
The flop came 10♠4♦2♠ and Pihela led out for 70,000. Moon then raised to 180,000 and Pihela moved all in for 445,000.
Moon took several minutes until eventually calling to put Pihela at risk.
Igor Pihela: Q♦Q♠ 
Dongwuk Moon: A♣Q♣
Pihela showed down a pair of queens, while Moon had just ace-high and couldn't connect with the 9♣ turn or 7♠ river as he handed over the double up.
