Boika Makes the Right Fold
Level 63

Aliaksei Boika raised to 100,000 on the button with J♦9♦ and Artur Martirosian called from the big blind with 9♣6♦. The flop fell 10♣6♥2♠ and both players checked to the 9♥ on the turn.
Martirosian led out with a bet of 200,000 after making two pair and Boika called after hitting his nine. The river was the 4♦ and Martirosian reached back for a large bet of 750,000 but Boika made the correct laydown.
