Geiger Holds On With a Small Pair
Level 29
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Florian Geiger raised to 400,00 in the cutoff before Angelo Arossi three-bet it up to 1,000,000 on the button. Geiger continued with a call.
Check, check came after the 2♥10♦6♠ flop and the 2♠ arrived on the turn.
Geiger checked for a second time, which prompted Arossi to fire for 850,000. Geiger wasn't going anywhere as he put in the call.
An 8♥ rolled off on the river, prompting a final check from Geiger. Arossi took some time and eventually checked behind with A♣5♦ for ace-high.
Geiger showed 5♠5♥ for the winner with a pair of fives, and he won the last pot before the break.
