Tsou Chooses Aggression; Cracks Aces

Rarely do you get all the chips in blind versus blind but James Tsou and Gerald Reyelts found a way in Flight B of Event #2: The $100k GTD Heatwave.

On 1,000/1,500/1,500, Tsou opened to 3,500 from the small blind. Reyelts raised from his big blind to 11,000.

Tsou took his time staring down his opponent and then clicked it back to 25,000 as the 4-bet. Reyelts quickly pushed the rest of his chips forward and Tsou knew he stepped in it but wasn't folding.

With all the chips in the middle, Reyelts tabled A♥A♠ which dominated the A♣Q♣ of Tsou. Tsou wasn't dominated for long though as the whole table reacted to the flop of Q♠Q♥2♥. Reyelts' aces were in bad shape.

The turn delivered a boat to Tsou with the 2♣ and the 5♣ river sent Reyelts to the rail. Aggression paid off for Tsou as he now has well over 2x the average stack.
