Stagi Wins With Top Pair

Tim Baker

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Juergen Hofer raised to 12,000 from the hijack and Nicola Stagi called from the cutoff.

Hofer bet 11,000 on the 6♥K♦7♦ flop and Stagi called.

Both players checked the 6♦ turn and 4♣ river. Hofer showed a pair of deuces with 2♦2♥ and lost the pot to the K♠Q♠ of Stagi for a pair of kings.
