Two Pair All Round
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Shrey Maheshwary opened the betting with a raise to 75,000 under the gun. Both Jose Nadal and Jianqiang Yu put in the call as they went off to a A♦K♣J♥ flop. Here, Yu checked, Maheshwary bet 60,000, and both other players called.
The 8♠ turn checked through, as did the 2♠ river. Yu showed Kx8x7x3x announcing, "Three pair!"
Maheshwary tabled AxJx for a better two pair as he was prepared to take the pot, but his eyes rolled as Nadal showed AxKx8x6x for what the dealer referred to as, "best two pair."
