Angelov Takes a Massive Pot with Aces
"It might be the biggest pot of the tournament so far," a player told PokerNews, looking at the 2,000,000 chip pot and the 3♣8♥10♣2♠ board he had in front of him.
According to this player, the cutoff opened preflop, Jacob Thibodeau on the button three-bet to 200,000, and Boris Angelov in the big blind four-bet to 550,000. Thibodeau called, then on the flop, he called a continuation bet of 500,000.
On the turn, Angelov bet 750,000 and Thibodeau called once more to see the 10♦ river, where Angelov moved all-in for approximately 2,000,000.
Thibodeau went deep into the tank, and after more than five minutes, he still couldn't make a decision. But when another player called the clock, Thibodeau made the call with JxJx. However Angelov had A♣A♥ and scooped this massive pot. Thibodeau was covered, so he was eliminated in 300st place for $45,000.
