Sturm gets Max Value with Aces
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Leon Sturm, who won Event #22: $50,000 High Roller earlier this summer, opened to 8,000 from early position and got a call from a player in middle position.
Both players checked the 8♣Q♠8♥ flop leading to the 3♣ turn. Sturm checked, his opponent bet 14,000 and Sturm raised to 46,000, receiving a call from his opponent.
Sturm fired again on the 3♥ river for 72,000. After about two minutes in the tank his opponent reluctantly put in the call. Sturm tabled A♥A♠ for the winner and took down a sizable pot.
