Fatal Missread
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Three-way on a flop of 9♥K♠8♠, Armen Ayrapetyan in the cutoff bet 2,000, the small blind folded and Charles Welsh in the big blind made the call.
Ayrapetyan fired a second barrel of 6,000 on the 5♥ turn, but Welsh check-raised to 15,000. Ayrapetyan quickly called and moved all-in for 34,600 after Welsh checked the 10♣ river. Welsh went deep into the tank and called.
Armen Ayrapetyan: A♠K♣ 
Charles Welsh: 9♦5♦
Ayrapetyan thought he had the won, but Welsh with two pair had the best hand. "But there is a pair on the board, I win," claimed Ayrapetyan, before having a closer look and realizing his mistake. He was covered so he was eliminated.
