Lehner Wins a Small Battle of the Blinds
Level 15
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya completed from the small blind, and Johannes Lehner checked his option in the big blind.
Skhulukhiya placed out a bet on the 6♦2♦9♥ flop and was met by a raise to 75,000 from Lehner. Skhulukhiya called.
Both players checked the A♥ turn and Q♠ river, and Skhulukhiya turned over 10♦9♣ for a pair of nines. Lehner showed the same pair with a better kicker, revealing K♣9♠, and the battle of the blinds went his way.
