Punsri Cracks Ajayi's Aces
This hand was picked up on the flop with approximately 180,000 in the middle in a three-handed pot on a board that read 9♣5♦10♣.
Punnat Punsri checked his option from early position. Adedapo Ajayi bet 75,000 from the next seat over before Eric Tsai made the call on the button. Punsri pushed the action with a check-raise to 220,000. Ajayi jammed in response, which shed Tsai. Punsri called to put himself at risk for 750,000.
Punnat Punsri: 10♦10♠
Adedapo Ajayi: A♣A♥
Ajayi had the aces, but they were in trouble as Punsri had flopped top set to be in the commanding lead.
The 5♣ turn killed any hopes of a runner-runner flush for Ajayi, for although he hit the club, it paired the board to give Punsri a full house.
The river was the J♣, making the paired board on the turn all the more important as Punsri held to secure the double up and crack Ajayi's aces.
