Tartaglia Cracks Aces

Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante

James Obst and Christian Harder have been eliminated while Tony Tartaglia, who had spent the last few levels with an above-average stack already, won a big pot after cracking aces to soar further. After the hand was over, Tartaglia walked over to Amanda De Cesare to bring the good news before heading back to his seat with new table neighbor and fellow big stack Paul Michaelis.

In a three-bet pot for 3,500 to the {J-Hearts}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop, Tartaglia had gotten into a raising war with the player from two seats over and ultimately jammed to receive a quick call and discover the pocket aces of the opponent. Tartaglia still had outs with the {K-Hearts}{J-Spades} and got there thanks to the {3-Spades} turn and {J-Diamonds} river run out.
