Aguero Misses His Freeroll
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Former professional footballer Sergio Aguero was spotted hiding in the Horseshoe blue section after making his way into the field midway through the day. Aguero was highly regarded as one of the best strikers of his generation while playing in the Premier League for Manchester City.
Aguero raised it up to 1,500 in middle position, and Michael Monroig three-bet to 4,200 on the button. Aguero called and they went heads-up to a flop of 5♠4♦2♥.
Aguero checked to Monroig, who continued with a bet of 5,500, and Aguero called. The turn brought the 10♠, and both players checked to the 9♦ on the river. Two more checks and Aguero tabled A♠J♠, the same hand as Monroig with A♦J♥, but Aguero picked up a freeroll on the turn.
