Afrah Runs Into Aces
Level 14
: Blinds 2,000/3,500, 3,500 ante
On the feature table, Boris Tabiyev raised from under the gun to 7,000. Seated on his left, Paolo three-bet to 21,000. He was called by Afrah Afrah in the hijack, and by Tabiyev.
The flop 10?5?5? appeared on the table, and Tabiyev checked to let Paolo bet 37,000. Afrah called again, but Tabiyev folded pocket sevens.
The J? came on the turn, allowing Paolo to fire a second barrel of 68,000. Afrah went into the tank, but eventually called. Her decision was quicker on the river 2?, as she simply checked back with K?K?. Unfortunately for her, Paolo had the best possible pair with A?A?.
