Two Pair Enough for Hui
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
After action folded to her in the hijack, Loni Hui raised to 2,500 with 9♠8♠. Keun Kwak picked up A♠K♥ on the button and responded with a three-bet to 8,500. Hui made the call and they went to a flop.
The dealer fanned Q♦9♣10♠, giving Hui middle pair and a gutshot. She checked, and Kwak continued for 5,000. Hui paused, then made the call.
The 3♠ turn and 10♦ river were both checked through, and at showdown, Hui’s two pair, tens and nines, proved best, earning her the pot as Kwak’s ace-high hit the muck.
