Heads-Up Battle Leveling the Stacks
Sridhar Sangannagari raised to 550,000 from the button, and John McDonald called from the big blind. On the flop of A♦K♠5♣, McDonald checked, Sangannagari bet 350,000, and McDonald called.
The turn brought the 3♦, and both players checked. The 4♣ river put four cards to a straight on the board, and after some thought, they both checked.
McDonald had 7♥5♥ for a pair of fives; Sangannagari had 8♦5♠ for the same pair, but a slightly better kicker to claim the pot.
