Sterba Raises Into Aces
Nivel 34
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Adrian State was under the gun and raised to 300,000. Big blind Jakub Sterba looked down at his cards and put in a call. State continued for 250,000 on the 2♦Q♠8♥ flop, which Sterba check-raised to 800,000.
State was going nowhere with as he called to the Q♣ turn. Sterba continued firing, putting 1,200,000 in the middle. State called undetered, after which the 6♠ river was checked down.
Sterba could only table king-high with K♦10♦, while State was sitting on A♥A♣ and raked in the pot with his aces, becoming the second eight-figure stack in the tournament.
