Calderone Wins at Showdown With Ace-High
Level 9
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
A pot of around 30,000 was already in the middle as Eros Calderone, Paul Newey, and Quan Zhou went to a flop of 7?2?10?.
Calderone, under the gun, bet 7,000 and Zhou called in the small blind, as did Newey in the big blind.
The turn came the K? and Calderone fired out another 16,000. Only Zhou called this time before both players slowed down and checked on the 4? river.
Zhou turned over J?9? for missed flush and straight draws, while Calderone had A?8? to win the pot with ace-high.
