Slight Recovery for Avitan

[user46392]

"You can recover!" said Avitan's wife at the rail by way of encouragement after that last one.

So it was that Avitan called a button raise from Skampa and saw a {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{J-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

flop which both players checked.

Come the {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

turn Avitan bet out 450,000 and Skampa called; Avitan furthermore bet out 600,000 on the {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

river. Skampa called again - but mucked when Avitan turned over {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{9-Spades}

for two pair.

"I told you so," said wifey at the rail.

Current standings:

Skampa - 10.5 million
Avitan - 7 million
