Aces Hold for Kramer
Level 22
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
On a heads-up flop of 8?3?J?, there was already 400,000 in the bloated pot when Asmare Bekalu and Matthew Kramer got it all in for heaps, with Kramer at risk.
Matthew Kramer: A?A?
Asmare Bekalu: K?Q?
Kramer was ahead with his pocket aces, but Bekalu was very much alive with his flush draw.
The board bricked out with the 7?5? runout and Kramer's aces held to scoop the massive pot to boost him over 2,000,000 while Bekalu was left on life support.
