Alontsau’s Two Pair Claims the Pot
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Siarhei Alontsau opened the action with a raise to 100,000 from under the gun, and Pedro Marques defended his big blind with a call.
The flop came 7♦J♦Q♣, and Marques check-called Alontsau’s continuation bet of 120,000.
On the J♥ turn, Marques switched gears, leading out with a 115,000 bet, which Alontsau called.
When the 4♣ landed on the river, Marques opted to check. Alontsau seized the opportunity to bet 200,000. After burning through two time bank cards, Marques made the call.
Alontsau revealed K♠Q♦ for two pair, queens and jacks, which was enough to scoop the pot as Marques mucked his hand.
