Starostin's Top Pair Is Good
Level 12
: 800/1,600, 0 ante
With about 55,000 in the pot, hijack Ivan Starostin checked the 
turn and his left-hand opponent Romain Lewis bet 22,000. Starostin paused for a moment and then placed in calling chips.
The river fell 
and both players quickly tapped the felt. Starostin opened 
for just a pair of kings but it was enough to collect the pot as Lewis threw his cards into the muck.
