Aguiar always brings his Portugal jersey to live events

From under the gun, Jonathan Aguiar raised to 12,500. Christina Lindley was next in line and made the call before action folded around to Dmitrii Valouev in the small blind. He moved all in for his short stack of 35,500. The big blind got out of the way and then Aguiar made the call. Lindley called as well.

The three players took a flop of {7-Clubs}

with Valouev all in. Aguiar and Lindley would have further action on the side. Both decided to check the flop.

The turn added the {2-Spades}

to the board and Aguiar checked again. Lindley checked behind.

The river was the {3-Clubs}

and Aguiar fired out a bet of 49,000. Lindley tanked and then made the call. Aguiar announced that he had a six and tabled {A-Clubs}

. Lindley mucked her hand, losing the side pot and dropping to 200,000. Valouev showed that he had a lower straight than Aguiar's with the {A-Diamonds}

and was eliminated from the tournament.

Aguiar makes a living off qualifying for big live events online and traveling the world playing them. The NAPT Venetian is just another stop for the young pro and he's doing well with a stack of 415,000 chips as about 100 players remain.
