Top Pair for Constantin
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
After Ivan Alin Constantin opened to 65,000 from the hijack and was called by Bjorn Samuelsson in the small blind. The chip leader Eduard Norel defended from the big blind.
All three of them checked the flop 6♦A♣J♠. But on the turn 3♠, Norel bet 60,000. Constantin called, while Samuelsson check-folded 8♦8♣.
The 7♥ came on the river, and both players checked. First to reveal his cards, Norel showed J♥10♥ for top pair. But Constantin had K♦J♣, so he scooped the pot.
