Angelov Takes a Massive Pot with Aces
"It might be the biggest pot of the tournament so far," a player told PokerNews, looking at the 2,000,000 chip pot and the 3?8?10?2? board he had in front of him.
According to this player, the cutoff opened preflop, Jacob Thibodeau on the button three-bet to 200,000, and Boris Angelov in the big blind four-bet to 550,000. Thibodeau called, then on the flop, he called a continuation bet of 500,000.
On the turn, Angelov bet 750,000 and Thibodeau called once more to see the 10? river, where Angelov moved all-in for approximately 2,000,000.
Thibodeau went deep into the tank, and after more than five minutes, he still couldn't make a decision. But when another player called the clock, Thibodeau made the call with JxJx. However Angelov had A?A? and scooped this massive pot. Thibodeau was covered, so he was eliminated in 300st place for $45,000.
