Heads-Up Hands #23-25: Two Pair for Yaginuma, Better King-High for Carroll
Hand #23: Jesse Yaginuma limped in from the button with K♦7♦, and James Carroll opted to check with the K♠6♠. The flop came 2♥5♦Q♦, Carroll check-called the 3,000,000 bet of Yaginuma. The turn was the K♥, Carroll bet 4,000,000, and Yaginuma called. The river was the 7♣, Carroll took his time and bet 10,000,000 for Yaginuma to call after some thinking time to claim the pot with the rivered two pair.
Hand #24: Carroll picked up the 10♦2♥ on the button and raised to 7,000,000. Yaginuma picked up the 6♠5♥ to shove for 48,000,000 for Carroll to snap-fold.
Hand #25: The flop read 8♠10♣6♥ and both players checked to the A♦ on the turn. Carroll bet 3,000,000 with K♦9♣ for Yaginuma to call with the K♥7♣. The river completed the board with the 2♣. Carroll bet 13,000,000 for Yaginuma to look at his own cards again. He glanced over to Carroll, looked at his own stack, and then called with a worse king-high.
