Dimov Loses Two in a Row

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante
Ognyan Dimov
Ognyan Dimov

On the heads-up river of {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, Ognyan Dimov check-raised from 3,300 to 16,000 out of the small blind and Xavier Mouysset called after some consideration on the button. DImov tabled the {q-Spades}{9-Spades} for two pair which Moussyet had beat with {j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}.

One hand later, Andre Hungerkamp jammed for the last 5,200 and Dimov called.

Andre Hungerkamp: {k-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Ognyan Dimov: {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

Hungerkamp stood up from his chair by the time the turn showed {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{j-Spades}{7-Diamonds} but he spiked the {q-Hearts} river to stay in contention.
