Mingus Takes Two from Borinsky
Level 25
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
John Mingus opened to 165,000 in the hijack, and Christopher Borinsky defended his big blind to see the Q♣9♠J♠ flop. Both players checked, and the 4♣ turn hit the table.
Borinsky led out for 140,000, finding a call from Mingus. Two final checks followed the 2♠ river, and Borinsky tabled 9♣8♠ for a pair of nines.
Mingus showed A♠9♦ for nines with a better kicker, and the pot was sent his way.
On the very next hand, Mingus opened again to 165,000 and Borinsky called in the small blind. Borinsky checked the J♠6♠6♥ flop, this time folding quickly when Mingus continued for 150,000 to take the pot.
