Guagenti Cuts with the Blade

Level 27
: Limits 60,000/120,000, 0 ante

Nick Guagenti had just scooped a pot with A?K? on an ace-high board against Juha Helppi before the next hand happened:
Guagenti was in the small blind and limped when folded to him. George Chen checked in the big blind.
The flop fanned out A?J?9? and Guagenti bet and received a call.
The Q? peeled off the turn and Guagenti bet again. Chen matched the bet again.
The river brought the 8? and both players tapped the table before Guagenti tabled A?6? for top pair and another winner.
