Aiba Takes On State
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Koichi Aiba opened to 4,500 from under the gun and was called by Cesar Daniel Veloso from the cutoff. Adrian State made it 15,000 from the button and both players called.
Aiba jammed for 43,000 on the A?Q?9? flop, pushing out Veloso. State thought it over briefly before flicking in the call as the bigger stack.
Koichi Aiba: A?K?
Adrian State: A?5?
Aiba had State out-kicked and he locked up the hand after the K? turn gave him two pair. The 4? completed the board and Aiba moved above the average stack threshold.
