Guerena Fades a Big Draw

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

The cutoff raised to 2,000, and Ben Guerena three-bet to 6,000 from the small blind. The cutoff thought briefly before tossing in a call.

After the {4-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} flop fell, Guerena pointed to the flop and looked at his opponent, grinning. He then bet 9,000, and snapped off his last 23,300 after his opponent placed a stack of 5k chips in the pot to put him at risk.

Ben Guerena: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}
Opponent: {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

The table let out a gasp upon seeing the draws that Guerena had to fade in order to stave off elimination. He succeeded on the {4-Diamonds} turn and {k-Spades} river, and his aces-up netted him a double.
