McCann Busts Aghasi As Big Stacks Collide


Emad Aghasi opened to 4,000 from early position, and was faced with a three-bet to 10,000 by JP McCann in the big blind, with Aghasi making the call.

 

On the 7h2s2d flop, McCann continued with a bet of 15,000, which prompted a quick call from Aghasi.

 

The 2d rolled off on the turn, and McCann continued to fire, sliding out a bet of 25,000. Aghasi took a moment to think, before moving all in for 94,000.

 

McCann, who covered Aghasi, went into the tank before ultimately making the call. Aghasi showed 5s5h for the full house, but McCann had 8h8s for the higher one, and he sent Aghasi to the rail after scooping a monster pot.

 

JP McCann – 275,000 (171 bb)
Emad Aghasi – eliminated
