Loeser Turns a Pair on Badziakouski

Level 7 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Mikita Badziakouski opened to 17,000 from early position and Manig Loeser three-bet to 60,000 from the hijack. The action folded back to Badziakouski who called to go heads up to a flop of {a-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}.

Both players checked to the {k-Hearts} on the turn and Badziakouski led out for 70,000. Loeser stuck around to see the {8-Diamonds} on the river and both players tapped the table again. Badziakouski tabled {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} but Loeser made a bigger pair on the turn with {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}.
