That Awkward Moment For Aguiar

[user66118]

Level 2 : 75/150, 25 ante

Jon Aguiar was leading the betting when we walked up to a pot on fourth street. Here's how the boards played out:

Aguiar: (x-x) / {3-Spades} {J-Hearts} {J-Spades} {K-Diamonds} / (x)
Player 1: (x-x) / {9-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {8-Clubs} / (x)
Opponent 2: (x-x) / {A-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} / (x)

After a bet on fourth street, Player 1 raised. Opponent 2 and Aguiar both called, and Player 1 continued the betting the rest of the way through seventh. Opponent 2 called on the last street, while Aguiar tucked and mucked with a ruffle of the lips when his seventh card displeased him.

Player 1 wasn't as strong as he appeared, perhaps. He showed {9-Hearts} {7-Spades} {K-Hearts} / {9-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {8-Clubs} for two pair, and Aguiar slipped his headphones off to make sure he was seeing things correctly. He was. Opponent 2 took the low half, and Aguiar has been reduced to about 1,950 with that loss.
