Tarantino Shows Down Sixes
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Lee Ilagan limped in early position, with Tony Wu and Bartlomie Glab doing the same on his left. David Tarantino called in the cutoff, and Dennis Shamroni came along in the small blind.
George Niedzwicki then raised to 1,200 in the big blind, and only Tarantino called to see the 8♣8♠4♥ flop. Both players checked to the 10♣ turn, and another pair of checks followed.
Niedzwicki led out for 800 on the 4♠ river, and Tarantino tossed in a call. Niedzwicki tabled K♥Q♥ for two pair with a king, while Tarantino flipped over 6♣6♥ for a better two pair to claim the pot.
