Pak Wins with Stronger Two Pair
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Calvin Anderson opened the action with a raise to 8,000, but Edward Pak ramped up the pressure with a three-bet to 25,000. Anderson gave it some thought before making the call.
The flop came 6♠J♣5♣, and Anderson checked it over to Pak, who followed up with a bet of 20,000. Anderson took a moment, then called.
The 10♦ landed on the turn and both players checked.
When the J♦ hit the river, Anderson took the initiative with a bet of 33,000. Pak wasted no time calling.
Anderson showed 9♣9♥ for two pair of jacks and nines, but Pak turned over Q♣10♥, good for jacks and tens to take the pot.
