Pucci Wins With an Ace
Level 6
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Michele Pucci opened to 2,300 from the cutoff and was called by Miroslav Salaj on the button and Jakob Miegel in the big blind.
Miegel checked to Pucci on the 9♠K♣J♦ flop and he continued for a 2,500 bet. Salaj called, but Miegel folded.
Both players checked down on the 6♦ turn and K♠ river and Pucci turned over A♥8♠. Salaj rapped the table and revealed he held 10x8x for a whiffed open-ended straight draw — sending the pot Pucci's way.
