Things Get Sweaty For Ju and His Aces
Level 10
: Blinds 800/1, 1 ante
Michael Lombardi raised to 3,500 from early position, before Peter Ju three-bet to 11,000. Then once it folded back to Lombardi, he four-bet to 28,000. Lu then five-bet all in, which was snap called by Lombardi.
Peter Ju: A?A? 
Michael Lombardi: A?A?
Both players had pocket aces, and although it seemed likely to chop, the 7?4?2? flop did give Lombardi the free roll with running clubs. The 3? gave him the flush draw, and Ju would now need to fade a club to stay in the tournament. But the 8? hit the river, and the two players chopped the pot with their pocket aces.
