Kings Are Good for Bogdanov
Level 11
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Action folded to Yulian Bogdanov on the button, and he raised to 50,000, which was called by the small blind Paulo Mendez.
Both players checked after the 10♦8♣10♥ flop, which brought the 7♣. Mendez then bet out 50,000, and Bogdanov raised to 150,000. Mendez called to see a river.
The river brought the A♣ and both players checked to showdown. Mendez turned over 9♣8♥ for two pair tens and eights, but Bogdanov had the winner when he tabled K♥K♦ to take the pot with his two pair kings and tens.
