Aquilera Makes a Straight
Level 29
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Alec Torelli opened to 300,000 on the button and was called by Jose Aguilera in the big blind.
Action checked through the 7?3?5? flop to the 9? turn at which point Aguilera led out for 375,000. Torelli thought for a moment before making the call.
Aguilera continued firing after the 6? river completed the board by betting out 550,000. "Very nice bet," Torelli remarked as he pondered a call. He did end up tossing in the call but was shown the bad news after Aguilera turned over 6?5? for the rivered straight.
