Deuces Never Loses

Level 18 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Kevin Rabichow raised it up from under the gun and was called by Joel Miller in the cutoff, Josue Sauvageau in the small blind, and Mukul Pahuja in the big blind.

The flop fell {k-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and the action checked to Miller who bet 325,000. Sauvageau check-raised to 875,000 and Pahuja shoved all in for around 1,850,000. Rabichow and Miller both quickly folded and Sauvageau called just as fast.

Pahuja turned over {k-Diamonds}{9-Spades} but was drawing slim against the {2-Hearts}{2-Clubs} of Sauvageau. The {j-Spades} on the turn gave Pahuja some outs but the {k-Clubs} on the river improved Sauvageau to a full house and Pahuja was ousted.
