Khavin Drags the Pot with Top Two
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
With around 2,000 in the middle and the flop showing 2♣7♣9♦, Filipp Khavin checked from the big blind. Fabian Niederreiter, seated in the hijack, fired out a bet of 800, and Khavin made the call.
The Q♣ hit the turn, and Khavin checked again. This time, Niederreiter ramped it up to 5,500, but Khavin wasn’t going anywhere and called once more.
On the 2♥ river, Khavin checked for a third time. Niederreiter glanced at his cards and paused briefly before opting to check back. Khavin turned over Q♦9♠ for top two, prompting a nod of respect from Niederreiter as Khavin scooped the pot and said with a grin, “Good check.”
