Bottom Pair Good for Troyanovskiy

Vladimir Troyanovskiy opened to 13,000 from under the gun and was called by Motoyoshi Okamura from the big blind.

Okamura check-called for 15,000 on the K♠Q♣J♣ flop before the 5♦ turn checked through to the 3♣ river. Okamura led out for 50,000 and folded out Troyanovskiy.

The hand after, Okamura made it 13,000 from the small blind and now it was Troyanovskiy's turn to defend his big blind.

Okamura continued for 17,000 on the J♣9♦6♦ flop and called when Troyanovskiy made it 45,000. The 3♣ turn checked through to the 2♦ river. Okamura led out for 30,000 and was called.

Okamura had king-high with K♥7♣, while Troyanovskiy's 5♣2♣ meant he had the winner with just a pair of deuces.
