Aasen Finds a Clean Double-up
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Rick Aasen opened to 4,000 from early position. Both the cutoff and big blind made the call.
The flop came 6?5?4?, and the first two acting players checked. The cutoff led out for 5,500, while the big blind found a quick fold.
Aasen cut out raising chips when the cutoff said "I'll beat you into the pot" as he was about to raise. Aasen was not discouraged and raised 21,000.
The cutoff player quickly jammed all in while having Aasen covered. After considering his position, Aasen made the call and both players revealed their hands.
Rick Aasen: J?J?
Cutoff: 10?9?
The board ran out K?K? for Aasen to scoop the pot and double up.
