Ace-High is Good for Graells
Level 10
: 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Three-way on a board of Q?2?K?4?, Alejandro Vazquez in middle position, a player in the cutoff and Ricardo Graells in the small blind all checked on the flop and the turn.
But after Graells checked a third time on the river 2?, Vazquez bet 1,500. "It's a very small bet," Graells said when the cutoff folded. But the Swiss player was too curious, so he called.
Vazquez's face seemed to say that he had nothing. A fact confirmed when he showed 7?5?. Graells' hand wasn't much better, but his A?5? was good enough to win.
