Agüero Hits A Straight To Double Up
Level 9
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Francisco Benitez opened from under the gun to 5,500, and all the other players folded to Sergio Agüero in the big blind who counted his stack, then three-bet to 18,000.
Action back to him, Benitez moved all in, and Agüero called with his last 50,000 chips.
Sergio Agüero: A?K?
Francisco Benitez: K?K?
The flop J?7?10? gave a straight draw to Agüero, which was completed with the turn Q?. But after the river 7?, "Kun" was ready to leave. He obviously didn't see the straight that saved him. When he realized that, he took a deep breath and scooped the pot.
