Cada��s Aces Score Double-Up
Level 33
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
WSOP bracelet winner Joe Cada and Julien Loire squared off in a big pot.
Loire raised to 800,000 in early position, and then Cada, who was on the button, three-bet to 1,950,000.
Loire covered Cada and went in the tank, peeking over at the 2009 WSOP Main Event champion, who was motionless. After up to close to a minute, Loire moved all in.
Cada, who had 7,550,000 behind, snap called to put his tournament life at stake.
Joe Cada: A?A?
Julien Loire: K?Q?
The dealer fanned 7?3?9? on the flop, leaving Cada ahead. The 8? appeared on the turn, followed by 9? on the river, giving Cada a double-up.
