Fazil Doubles With Just Five-High
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
The action was joined as Markus Fazil was all-in and at risk versus Rokas Asipauskas. The flop was already face up, showing 6♥6♠9♥, as the players revealed their cards.
Markus Fazil: 5♠5♥
Rokas Asipauskas: 2♠2♣
The 3♣ turn and 9♦ river left both players playing the two pair on the board.
Critically, Fazil's five-high kicker was enough to claim the pot. Asipauskas, as a result, was left nursing a very short stack.
