Ernovitz Hit Top Pair on the River

Maxime Taldir

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Moshe Lankri opened to 1,200 from middle position, and he was called by both Miky Ernovitz in the cutoff and Peter Kucharik in the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 3♠3♦8♦, which was checked by all three players. But on the turn 10♣, Lankri bet 2,000. Before his turn, Kucharik called, so Ernovitz said he had to call. Kucharik then called for real.

The K♦ landed on the river, and Lankri fired a second barrel of 4,000. Ernovitz called, but Kucharik folded.

Lankri flipped over 10♦9♦, but Ernovitz had K♠Q♠.
