Sengphet vs. Araya

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

With a board reading {10-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}, Abraham Araya and La Sengphet each got 11,000 in the middle, leading to the {9-Hearts} river. Araya quickly checked and Sengphet thought for a solid minute before checking behind.

"Two pairs," Araya said aloud as he tabled {9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}. A disappointed look shot across Sengphet's face, not because she lost, but because she didn't bet her {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}. Nonetheless, the pot put Sengphet up to 62,000 while Araya dropped to 100,000.
