Almost Mucked, But Takes the Pot
Level 15
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Orpen Kisacikoglu opened from the button to 50,000, and both blinds called.
All three players checked through the 4♣Q♠8♠ flop.
On the J♠ turn, Ben Heath led out with a bet of 65,000, but only Kisacikoglu stuck around to see the 4♥ river.
Both players checked the river. Heath turned over J♦8♦ for two pair, jacks and eights, saying, "A queen beats me."
Kisacikoglu nearly mucked, but revealed Q♣9♠ for two pair, queens and fours, claiming the pot. "I almost mucked, already asleep," he joked, nodding thankfully toward Heath.
