Error By No Means Fatal for Aguiar

[user46392]

Jon "FatalError" Aguiar has had a most fortuitous start to the tournament. Strolling by his table just before the break we found him in possession of 13,500 in chips. "How did you get those?" we asked him. He looked a little sheepish.

It turns out he bet on a {q-} {5-} {4-} flop holding {j-} {10-} and got two callers. Interesting. The turn was a {k-} and after one of the players had checked Aguiar bet again, only to be minimum-raised. He called, and they went heads up to the river, which was an {a-} . Aguiar's opponent checked, and Aguiar, now finding himself holding a Broadway straight, shoved for 5,000 into the 3,500 pot. His opponent called, couldn't beat the straight, and Aguiar doubled to 13,500.
