Aoki’s Aces River Suzuki

Level 5: 200 / 500 ante: 500

The action is opened from the +2 position by Japan’s Yoshinobu Suzuki to 1,000 and gets re-raised in the HJ of fellow Japanese player Naoya Aoki to 2,000. Suzuki calls.

The flop comes Q♣ T♥ A♠ as Suzuki checks it to the 3-bettor. Aoki fires 4,000 and is called. The turn is the 5♠ as Suzuki checks again. Aoki unloads 7,000 and gets check-raised to 15000 by Suzuki. Aoki shoves his remaining stack of 31,400 and is quickly called.

Aoki shows A♦ A♣ for top set on the flop while Suzuki turns over K♥ J♦ for the nut Broadway straight on the flop.

Needing the board to pair, Aoki sees exactly that as the T♦ arrives on the river giving Aoki a full house to escape the jaws of defeat.

Suzuki’s stack takes a huge hit on the bad beat.
