Maerki Runs Into Higher Pair

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

With around 30,000 already in the middle, Marc Bougaret moved all in from the small blind for 20,400 on a board of 4♣2♠4♥5♦. Luca Maerki gave it some thought before putting the rest of his chips in the middle.

Maerki had 9♥9♣ and Bougaret had K♦K♣ for the superior hand, two pair, kings and the fours on board.

The river was a harmless 10♥ and Bougaret held to win the pot, sending Maerki out moments before the break.
