Top Pair for Ismayilov
Level 8
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Mark Hammond raised to 8,000 in early position, and Cong Pham quickly three-bet to 30,000 on his left. Javid Ismayilov made the call on the button, while Hammond got out of the way.
Pham led out for another 30,000 on the 7♠3♥K♣ flop, and Ismayilov stuck in the call. The J♥ turn saw Pham fire 60,000 into the middle, and another call was made.
Both players then checked down the 6♥ river, and Ismayilov tabled K♦Q♣ for top pair. Pham indicated he had a jack, and mucked his cards allowing Ismayilov to claim the pot.
