Two Pair for Lamkov
Level 30
: Blinds 750,000/1,500,000, 1,500,000 ante
Leon Sturm raised K♥3♥ under the gun to 3,000,000, and Azamat Lamkov defended the big blind with A♦9♦.
The dealer fanned a flop of A♣9♠8♥, giving Lamkov top two pair. Lamkov checked to Sturm who fired a bet of 2,700,000, and Lamkov called.
The J♥ fell on turn, and Lamkov checked before Sturm checked back his flush draw.
When the 5♣ completed the board, Lamkov dropped a bet of 3,500,000 across the line, and that was enough to earn the pot.
