Deuces Deliver Knockout Blow
Five players, including PokerStars Ambassador Ben "Spraggy" Spragg limped into the hand before seeing the 2♠K♥6♦ flop.
"&scorpião$78" led out for 2,448 from early position. After folds from the cutoff and Spragg in the small blind, "fina_tjejen" raised to 7,500 from the big blind. The original better put in a three bet to 12,552. A fold from late position left the pot heads-up and action on "fina_tjejen", who moved all in as the player at risk for 25,309 effective. "&scorpião$78" made the call and they tabled their hands with 56,666 in the middle.
"fina_tjejen": K♠6♥
"&scorpião$78": 2♥2♦
"&scorpião$78" was in good position with a set of deuces, but still needed to fade his opponent's outs to a full house. The Q♠ turn left just a 9.1% chance for a cooler, before the A♣ river sealed the pot, and knockout, for "&scorpião$78".
