Passive Play by Blair with Aces Reaps Rich Rewards
Level 12
: Blinds 400/800, 80 ante
Benjamin "TheChyGuy" Ector bet 1,600 from middle position and "roulettepro" raised to 4,000 from the hijack. Nathan "Forbroke" Blair cold called from the button, which lead to Ector raising to 12,420.
"roulettepro" moved all in for 24,066 and Blair only called once again. Ector moved all in, which covered Blair who called for 91,481.
"roulettepro": Q♠Q♦
Nathan "Forbroke" Blair: A♥A♣
Benjamin "TheChyGuy" Ector: A♠K♦
Blair's passive play worked to perfection, but the flop of Q♥J♥2♥ gave "roulettepro" top set. Blair's fears were soon allayed as the A♦ came on the turn for a better set and improved further when hitting the 5♥ to make the nut flush.
Blair scopped up a massive pot, leaving Ector with crumbs as roulettepro was eliminated.
