Cipiti Plays the Aces

Level 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Nick Cipiti
Nick Cipiti

Myles Mullaly raised in the cutoff to 120,000 and Nick Cipiti three-bet to 280,000 and Mullaly flatted.

The flop came out 5?J?9? and Mullaly checked and Cipiti bet 175,000. Mullaly called.

The A? on the turn had both players check.

The river was the 3? and Mullaly checked and Cipiti bet out 500,000. Mullaly went into the think tank for awhile and eyed up Cipiti. Some of the players discussed calling the clock but then Mullaly folded.

One of the players asked Cipiti to show his cards for fun and Cipiti threw his cards up across the table which were A?A?.
