Aerts Gets an Early Knockout
Level 1
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Justin Swilling had just fallen short after losing a pot to Ben Heath and jammed his last 3,700 in the middle from the hijack. Pieter Aerts was in the big blind and made the call.
Justin Swilling: A♥3♥
Pieter Aerts: J♠6♣
Swilling was ahead with ace-high until the K♥6♠3♣ flop hit the felt, giving Aerts a pair of sixes. The 10♣ turn and the J♦ river improved Aerts to two pair as Swilling exited the table.
