Yantsevich Wins Bloated Battle of Ace-Highs
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
A bit under 40,000 was already in the middle by the turn with the board reading 8?4?2?K?. Andrei Spataru checked from early position to Valery Yantsevich in the hijack who bet 30,000.
Spataru thought for a bit and then called to see the river 4?.
After Spataru checked again, Yantsevich shut down as well and checked. Fortunately for him, he had the winner.
Spataru showed A?J? for ace-high with a missed flush draw. Yantsevich showed A?Q? for a superior ace-high to take down the pot.
