Zainescu's Deuce Good at Showdown
Level 15
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Carmen Zainescu opened from middle position to 60,000 and got a call from the player in the big blind.
They both saw a flop of 3♦2♣9♠ where the big blind checked and Zainescu fired a 75,000-chip continuation-bet. The big blind took some time before he check-raised to 190,000, and after thinking it over, Zainescu called.
A 9♥ on the turn paired the board and both knuckled the table to the K♥ river, where again the action went check-check. The big blind then showed 7♠6♣ for just seven-high, and Zainescu's A♥2♥ was good with a pair of deuces.
