"I Smell Aces"
Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Alberto Sanchez opened to 2,500 in middle position and Karim Alleg three-bet to 8,000 from the next seat. Christiaan Poel Van der Maurits cold-called in the cutoff and Sanchez also called.
Sanchez checked on the flop of 2?9?J? and Alleg continued for 7,000. Maurits raised all in for around 30,000 and Sanchez quickly folded as Alleg followed suit.
"I smell aces," Alleg said with a sniff as he sent his cards to the muck. Maurits then turned over the J? to show he didn't have aces but did have at least top pair.
