Boivin Shows Down a Bigger Pair
Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Santhosh Suvarna raised to 3,500 in the cutoff, then called when Thomas Boivin three-bet to 13,000 on the button.
The flop came Q♦4♥3♣ and Boivin continued for 9,000. Suvarna called to see the 3♠ turn.
Boivin then bet 17,000 and Suvarna again called. The river was the J♣ and Suvarna checked for a third time. Boivin checked back and Suvarna turned over 8♣8♦.
Boivin, though, had 9♥9♠ as he took the pot.
