Vitor's Baby Pair is Enough
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Feliks Saakyan raised to 8,000 in middle position and was called by Christian Rico on his left and Joao Vitor in the small blind. The flop came Q♥7♦2♣ and Vitor led out with a bet of 6,000. Saakyan raised to 23,000 which got Rico out of the way but Vitor still called.
The turn was the 9♦ and Vitor led out again with an even smaller bet of 4,000. Saakyan just called this time and the 3♠ hit the river. Both players tapped the table and Vitor turned over 4♣4♦ which proved to be enough to win the pot.
