Petkov's Higher Two Pair Sends Uhara Home
Level 5
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Yiannis Liperis raised to 2,200 from the hijack with Motokatsu Uhara calling from the cutoff before Lachezar Petkov three-bet to 9,200 from the button. Liperis folded, but Uhara called.
The flop came down K♠4♥5♣ and Uhara check-called a bet of 4,500 from Petkov.
The A♠ fell on the turn and Uhara check-called another bet from Petkov, this time for 15,000.
When the J♦ hit the river, Uhara checked and Petkov bet 40,000, which was slightly more than what was remaining in Uhara's stack. Uhara reluctantly called and Petkov flipped over A♣K♥ for top two pair. It was good to win the pot and eliminate Uhara as he turned over A♥J♣ for a lower two pair.
