Lemardelee's Wins Pot With Higher Pocket Pair
Level 2
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Following an early position raise, Edmond Ghiulbenghian called in the small blind and Bruno Lemardelee reraised to 2,500. The original raiser folded and Ghiulbenghian made the call.
The flop came A♣6♦8♠. Ghiulbenghian checked and Lemardelee continued for 1,500. Ghiulbenghian glanced across at his opponent before making the call.
The turn came the 9♥. Ghiulbenghian checked again and Lemardelee bet 2,200, which Ghiulbenghian called.
The river was the 8♥ and both players checked it back. Ghiulbenghian showed J♦J♣ for pocket jacks and Lemardelee showed K♠K♦ for a higher pocket pair with his kings.
