Top Pair Enough For Mestre
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Boris Pesic opened to 11,000 from middle position and found one caller in Joao Mestre in the big blind.
Mestre proceeded to check-call bets from Pesic on every street. First for 16,000 on the K♣10♠3♦ flop, then for another 16,000 on the 4♦ turn, and finally for 33,000 on the 8♣ river.
Pesic tabled 10♦7♦ for a pair of tens, but they were no good against the K♦6♠ of Mestre for a pair of kings.
