Drobina Gets Some Chips Back

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 0 ante

In the first of two hands, Denis Drobina raised to 225,000 on the button and Christopher Back called in the small blind. The flop came {q-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and Bak check-folded after Drobina continued for 200,000.

A few minutes later, Drobina raised to 225,000 in the hijack and Ivo Donev called in the big blind. The flop went {a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and Donev check-called Drobina's continuation for 200,000.

Both players checked on the {q-Diamonds} turn and {9-Hearts} river and tabled their cards. Donev showed {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts} for two pair and the pot was sent to Drobina, holding {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{10-Spades}{4-Hearts} for the best kicker.
