Aquilera Makes a Straight
Level 29
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Alec Torelli opened to 300,000 on the button and was called by Jose Aguilera in the big blind.
Action checked through the 7♥3♣5♣ flop to the 9♣ turn at which point Aguilera led out for 375,000. Torelli thought for a moment before making the call.
Aguilera continued firing after the 6♦ river completed the board by betting out 550,000. "Very nice bet," Torelli remarked as he pondered a call. He did end up tossing in the call but was shown the bad news after Aguilera turned over 6♣5♠ for the rivered straight.
