Bad Beat for Aguero
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
During one of the last hands of the day, on a heads-up flop of K?4?10?, Sergio Aguero checked over to his opponent, Michael Monroig, who bet 3,000.
Aguero quickly made the call and the two went to the turn 9? where Monroig continued for 6,500 and Aguero check-called again.
The river came the 5? and Aguero checked to Monroig once more who fired for 11,500 but Aguero showed no fear and quickly called.
"Straight," Monroig announced as he tabled Q?J? for a turned straight while Aguero flipped over K?9? for a turned two-pair that was unfortunately not enough to win the pot and it was shipped over to Monroig.
Even with this loss, the famous footballer still has a healthy stack of 87,000 to take with him into Day 2 of the WSOP Main Event.
