Raymond Caabay opened to 65,000 in middle position with 9♠9♣ and Francis Obadun defended from the big blind with 5♠2♥. The flop came J♦8♣2♦ and Obadun check-called a bet of 55,000 from Caabay.
The turn brought the 5♣ and Obadun checked again. Caabay fired out another bet of 150,000 and Obadun stuck around for the 3♣ on the river. Obadun led out with a bet of 250,000 on the river and Caabay slammed in a call, only to find out that Obadun turned two pair.
