Aces Good for Motta
Level 3
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Fabio Motta opened to 700 in early position and was called by Malik Mauriello in the next seat, while Carlos Dos Santos defended his big blind.
On the Q?7?8? flop Dos Santos checked and Motta slid out a bet of 1,700. Mauriello folded and Dos Santos called.
On the 2? turn Dos Santos check-called a bet of 4,100 from Motta.
The river brought the 4? and both players checked their option. Dos Santos showed Q?5? for top pair of queens, which was no good versus Motta's A?A? for the overpair.
