Sandoval Triples with Aces
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Likai Liu in early position raised to 500,000. Michael Moncek three-bet to 1,400,000 from two seats over, then Ricardo Sandoval in the hijack jammed for 1,875,000. Both Liu and Moncek called.
Liu checked a flop of 5♣K♠6♣. Moncek bet 825,000 and was called before both players checked the 2♦ turn and the 4♥ river.
Ricardo Sandoval: A♦A♥
Michael Moncek: 9♣9♠
Likai Liu: Q♠J♣
"Hold," Sandoval repeated several times after flipping over his aces. Neither of his opponents had better hands, so he tripled up.
