Bottino Chips Up With Top Pair
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Steven Abramowitz raised to 7,000 from early position with Joseph Hernon calling out of the small blind, and Marcelo Bottino defending his big blind.
Hernon led out for 7,000 on the 6♦7♦5♣ flop, which only Bottino called.
The K♥ appeared on the turn and Hernon decided to check-call a bet of 10,000 from Bottino.
Both players checked the 10♦ river and Hernon turned over 4♥4♣ for an underpair to the board. Bottino had that beat with K♦9♥ for a pair of kings, and the pot was pushed to him.
