Mylonas Shows Affleck Aces

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Matt Affleck raised to 800 from early position and was three-bet to 2,800 by Dimitrios Mylonas in middle position. Action folded back around to Mylonas, who called.

Affleck check-called a 3,300 bet from Mylonas on the 5310 flop and then a 5,000 bet from Mylonas on the 10 turn.

Affleck checked a final time on the 8 river and Mylonas checked behind after a lengthy tank.

Affleck tabled JJ, which were no good against Mylonas' AA to send the pot Mylonas' way.
