Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Pavel Plesuv announced all-in for 50,000 from early position, action folded to Turbo Nguyen in the big blind, who was in the tank for a short while before calling.

Pavel Plesuv: 7♣7♥ All in
Turbo Nguyen: K♣Q♠

It was a scary flop for Plesuv as it came 9♠J♠2♣, which gave Nguyen two overcards and a gutshot to take this pot, but no luck as the board ran out the 6♣ on the turn and the 5♠ on the river, for Plesuv to double up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Pavel Plesuv	105,000 72,500	72,500

Turbo Nguyen	45,000 103,500	103,500

"I Had a Pair"

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Barry Russell

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Phil Hellmuth raised on the button to 6,000, Anthony Ibrahim called in the small blind and Paul Snead called in the big blind.

Action checked to Hellmuth and he fired out a bet of 3,000 on a flop of 9♦J♥3♥. Ibrahim folded and Snead called. Snead checked in flow to Hellmuth when the K♣ hit the turn and he continued his aggression with a bet of 4,000. Snead folded.

Hellmuth said to Ibrahim, "I would have called if you three-bet me."

Ibrahim responded with "I was thinking of jamming."

Phil then replied "Oh f**k, I would not have called then, but I had a pair!"
