Larsen Loses to Shornikau's Two Pair
Level 5
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Maksim Shornikau opened from the cutoff and Birger Larsen defended his big blind.
Larsen started out with a check on the 8♦2♣10♣ flop and Shornikau fired a continuation-bet of 4,000. Larsen made the call.
Larsen checked for a second time on the 9♠ turn, which prompted Shornikau to bet 18,000. Once again, Larsen called.
Two checks followed after the 6♠ rolled off on the river, and Larsen showed a pair of tens with Q♥10♥. But, this was second best to Shornikau's 10♠9♣ for top two pair.
