Tim Baker

Level 5 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Timur Margolin raised to 2,500 from the cutoff, and only Dmitrii Kravchenko called from the big blind.

Kravchenko checked to Margolin on the J♦5♠9♥ flop, and Margolin checked behind.

The 4♥ came on the turn, and Kravchenko led out for 3,500. Margolin called.

Kravchenko checked when the K♥ river arrived, and Margolin bet 8,800. Kravchenko used a time bank before making the call.

Margolin showed bottom pair with A♦4♣, but it was second best to the 10♥9♣ of Kravchenko for a pair of nines.
