Straate's Error Turns Fatal for Aguiar

Jon Aguiar
Jon Aguiar

Jon Aguiar came into the day with about 15bb, but he had a hell of a start to Day 4. Aguiar was up over 100,000 in no time, and he worked his stack over 200,000 by the break. It's all gone south, however.

We heard the dealer call his all in from across the room, so we hustled over to see what the deal was. It was indeed Aguiar all in for about 180,000 with {A-Spades} {A-Hearts}, and he had Benjamin Straate drawing awfully slim with his {A-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} on a {J-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} flop.

Turn: {J-Spades}

Oh no.

Straate pulled into an unlikely lead with his trip jacks, and the river {6-Spades} did nothing to help Aguiar's cause. He was last seen tweeting as he made his exit from the Amazon Room for the last time this year:

"Finally got aces and lost a 360k pot vs AJo on J76r, turn J my wsop is over, couldn't be more dissapointed [sic]."
