Pesek Loses a Big One

[user108095]

Steve Murphy made it 6,000 to go from the hijack and Mike Pesek called from the small blind. Both players checked the flop of {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

{J-Clubs}

{K-Spades}

and Pesek led out for 11,000 when the {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

hit the turn.

Murphy called and Pesek checked the {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

on the river. This time, Murphy led out for 20,000 and Pesek tanked for more than two minutes before finally making the call. His cards hit the muck when Murphy showed {A-?}

{A-?}

{K-?}

for top two pair.

Pesek's stack has shrunk to 52,000 while Murphy now has more than 145,000.
