"Fabian I have a pair and not a small pair!"
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
"How can I fold a pair for two bigs Fabian?" Johan Guilbert exclaimed as he was faced with a decision with a bet from Fabian Niederreiter in front of him from the small blind.
"I have a pair Fabian I swear, I didn't study the spot" Said Guilbert.
Johan Guilbert slammed his remaining 30,000 in the middle and the players revealed their hands.
Johan Guilbert:8♥8♠
Fabian Niederreiter: J♥10♦
A board of A♦3♦10♣ was no help for Guilbert, needing an eight or running straight cards.
The turn of 6♠ changed nothing with Niederreiter's pair of tens still in the lead.
A river 9♣ was close but not enough for Guilbert as he shook hands and said "GGs" to his tablemates and was eliminated from teh tournament.
