Shlez Cracks Aces for Large Pot
Level 31
: Limits 120,000/240,000, 0 ante
Vadim Shlez and John Armbrust were involved in one of the biggest pots of Day 3.
Armbrust raised in early position with A♠A♦, and then was re-raised by Shlez, who held K♠Q♣ in late position. Armbrust responded with a re-raise, which Shlez called to put 1,140,000 in the pot.
The flop brought 5♣7♦K♣, which Armbrust bet and Shlez called. The turn showed Q♥ and fireworks after Armbrust bet. Shlez raised with top two pair, and Armbrust called.
The river showed 3♥, and Armbrust checked. Shlez, though, fired a bet. Armbrust called and saw the bad news, as the dealer pushed the massive 2,820,000 pot to Shlez.
