Verbruggen Wins the Two Pair Battle
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Heads-up action was picked up between Oleksii Mezhenkov in the big blind and Tom Verbruggen in hijack looking at a K♥9♠3♣ flop beside 150,000 pot.
The dealer peeled J♥ and, after Mezhenkov checked the action, Verbruggen added 40,000 more to the pot which made Mezenko think about his options.
He took considerable time then finally called. Both players checked the A♦ river.
Mezhenkov tabled K♠3♠ for a two pair but couldn't beat Verbruggen's K♣9♦ for the higher two pair.
