Munoz Picks Up Aces, James States He Mucked Kings
Yisha Chen opened from the hijack to 55,000 and Bobby James three-bet the button to 135,000. Marta Miquel Munoz then four-bet out of the small blind to 325,000, which got a quick fold out of Chen, though James called quickly.
The dealer put out a flop of Q♥8♣5♣ where Munoz continued for 220,000, and again James called at lightning speed.
On the 3♥ turn, Munoz kept up the aggression with a bet of 375,000, and just as he did on previous streets, James wasted no time in making the call.
The Q♣ river paired the board and after thinking for a short time, Munoz checked. James quickly checked back and announced "Kings,". Munoz flipped A♥A♣ for a pair of aces, and James launched his cards into the muck without exposing them to the table.
"I knew it. When she raised preflop, I knew she had aces," remarked James as he stood up to look at the board.
With that pot, Munoz climbs to around 3,500,000, while James drops to just over a million.
