Betbese Gets the Best of Pavlov
Level 26
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Atanas Pavlov opened from the small blind before Roberto Betbese went into the tank from the big blind. The clock was called before Betbese three-bet to 315,000. Pavlov quickly shoved, and Betbese called to put himself at risk for 1,01500 total.
Roberto Betbese: 10♥10♣
Atanas Pavlov: A♥J♠
Betbese was best preflop, but he needed to fade the overcards of Pavlov to secure the double.
The flop had paint, but not the paint that compromised Betbese as the dealer fanned out 5♥K♦3♣ to keep the pocket tens of Betbese ahead with two cards to go.
The Q♣ turn gave Pavlov some additional outs, but the river was safe for Betbese as it came the 4♠ to award him the double-up.
