Ashkarkhizani Picks Off Sparks

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Mostafa Ashkarkhizani bet 15,000 from the button on a flop of 7♠9♦6♥ and Shawn Sparks called under the gun.

Both players checked the 2♦ turn, and Sparks then bet 20,000 on the 3♣ river. Ashkarkhizani called.

"Good call, sir," Sparks said as he mucked, and Ashkarkhizani showed 8♣6♣ for a pair of sixes to win the pot.

"I needed you to make two pair. If you make two pair, you're out," Sparks told him.
