Graeme Wright Triples Up with Aces

Jul 3, 2018

Graeme Wright

Hoan Nguyen raises UTG+1 to 350,000, Ricky Esterak reraises from the button to 775,000, and Bobby Poe reraises from the small blind to 2,000,000. Graeme Wright (pictured) five-bets all in from the big blind for 2,850,000.

Nguyen folds, and Esterak tanks for the full 30 seconds before he calls. Poe tanks nearly as long before he calls as well. Any further betting will create a side pot between Poe and Esterak.

Both live players check to the river on a board of Club 8Club 7Club 4Spade 3Heart K, and all three players turn over their cards:

Bobby Poe:  Heart 10Heart 8
Ricky Esterak:  Diamond AClub Q
Graeme Wright:  Spade AHeart A

Nobody improved, so Wright wins the entire pot with his pocket aces to triple up in chips.

Graeme Wright  –  9,050,000  (60 bb)
Bobby Poe  –  7,600,000  (51 bb)
Ricky Esterak  –  4,850,000  (32 bb)
