Vazhnik Spikes the River to Double

Level 5 : Blinds 700/1,500, 1,500 ante
Dzmitry Vazhnik
Dzmitry Vazhnik

Dzmitry Vazhnik, from under the gun, bet 15,000 on a board of {6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}.

"All in," big blind Asaf Kibel said, and Vazhnik snap-called for his last 65,000. Kibel showed {10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for two pair, while Vazhnik had {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts} and needed help.

The dealer turned over the {2-Hearts} and went to muck Vazhnik's hand. "He wins," Kibel said, pointing out that Vazhnik had made a higher two pair.

"I knew he had ace-king," Kibel continued after paying off Vazhnik.
