Escudero's Ace Jack Triumph
Level 32
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Alvaro Escudero initiated the action from middle position with a raise to 525,000. Joon Kim responded with a three-bet to 2,250,000, leaving himself with just 25,000 behind. Escudero, assuming it was effectively an all-in, called but didn't reveal his cards.
After clarification, the dealer turned the flop 5?A?8?. Escudero, first to act, went all in, and Kim made the call.
Joon Kim: A?K?
Alvaro Escudero: A?J?
Escudero hit the J? on the turn, and the Q? on the river didn't change the outcome, sending Kim packing.
