Auer’s Pocket Rockets Deliver a Crushing Set Against Jorstad
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Matthias Auer opened the action from under the gun with a raise to 7,000, drawing calls from Espen Jorstad on the button and Peter Jaksland in the big blind.
The flop came 8?7?2?, and the action checked through to Jorstad, who seized the opportunity with a bet of 8,000. Auer was the only one to continue, making the call.
The A? turn brought no additional aggression, as both players opted to check.
When the 5? hit the river, Auer took the lead with a bet of 10,000. Jorstad took his time to deliberate but eventually tossed in the chips to call. Auer revealed A?A? for a dominating top set, leaving Jorstad visibly frustrated as he mucked his cards and the pot slid Auer's way.
