Leao Finds a Pair on the River
Level 20
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Joao Leao raised it up from early position and was called by Hygor Outor on his left. They went heads-up to a flop of 7♣5♥3♦ and Leao continued with a bet of 45,000 which Outor called.
The turn brought the 5♦ and Leao checked this time. Outor tossed in a bet of 40,000 and Leao stuck around for the 9♠ on the river. Leao checked again and Outor reached back for a bet of 125,000. Leao deliberated for a minute and then called.
Outor turned over 2♠2♣ for two pair but Leao held K♥9♣ for a better two pair on the river and raked in the pot.
