Showdown At AK Corral
May 11, '19
A player in middle position opened with a raise to 4,000. The player in the cutoff three-bet to 18,000 and Nicholas Raio moved all-in. The initial raised shoved as well. The cutoff thought it over before flashing A-K and mucking.
Raio showed the AK for a second big slick. The initial raiser rolled over their hand to reveal… AK.
The flop brought the QQ7. The J turn gave Raio outs to a royal flush, but the 3 river resulted in a chopped pot.
