Picone Hits River, Still Loses
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Igor Picone and Sergio Coutinho were fighting over 70,000 chips when they went to a turn of K♠7♣J♠A♥. Picone checked from the hijack and Coutinho made a bet of 35,000 from the cutoff.
Picone made the call, and the Q♣ river completed the board. Picone checked once more and Coutinho checked behind after some thinking time.
Picone opened A♠Q♥ for two pair, but Coutinho played the higher two pair with A♦K♦ and won the pot.
