Cintula Hangs On to Aces in Four-Way Pot

David Salituro

Niveau 15 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Four players went to a flop of 3♦4♣7♥ where Andrej Cintula bet 30,000 from under the gun.

Stefan Heizmann called in early position, Samuel Ju called from the small blind, while big blind Alex Peffly also called.

All four players checked the 8♠ turn before Ju led out for 65,000 on the 10♠ river.

Peffly quickly folded and Cintula tanked for a minute before calling. Heizmann got out of the way.

Ju showed 7♣5♦, but Cintula had A♦A♥ to win the pot.

"What would you do if I raised," Peffly asked him.

"I think I would have to call. What worse can happen to you if you open with aces and get three calls," Cintula replied.
