"You Have Aces, Don't You?"
Level 5
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Three players saw a flop of 7♠4♠2♦, creating a pot of about 20,000. Gilberto Amaral was first to act and jammed his 11,200 into the middle, forcing the opponent on his left to instantly fold.
The third player in the hand, however, took a bit longer as he said, "You have aces don't you?" Amaral nodded his head yes and his opponent made the call.
Gilberto Amaral: A♥A♠
Opponent: K♠K♥
It was a classic preflop cooler and Amaral was able to hold with his aces as the board completed with the 6♥ on the turn and the 2♥ on the river.
