A Better Pair for Petrouchka
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Petrouchka raised to 6,000 from middle position, then only Samy Benjima in the cutoff called.
Benjima snap-called a continuation bet of 5,500 on a 2♥10♠J♦ flop, then both players checked on the turn 2♦.
There was no more action on the river 10♦, as both players checked again.
Petrouchka flipped over 8♦8♣ for two pair. Smiling, Benjima revealed 7♥7♦ and lost the pot.
