Bain Booming

[user162117]

We noticed Tristan Bain getting busy in a hand against two opponents. By the time we arrived at the table, all the chips were in, with an at-risk player holding {a-} {a-} against Bain's {9-Hearts} {2-Hearts} .

We asked the table how the action played out and they were happy to let us know. Apparently it was folded to the cut-off player (the one with the aces), who opened the pot to 4,500. The player in the small blind then three bet to 9,500. Bain, looking down at his trusty nine-deuce, cold four bet to 19,300 out of the big blind. The cut-off player moved all in for 53,000 here and the small blind got out of the way. Bain opted to call with his hand and was not in good shape against the aces.

The devastating {5-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {9-Clubs} {j-Clubs} {2-Spades} board was awful for the player with aces and they were sent home, while Bain is sitting pretty.
