Thomer Pidun

No-Limit Hold'em

Sebastian Pauli raised to 27,000 in the cutoff, Thomer Pidun three-bet to 61,000 on the button and Pauli called. The flop was {6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and Pauli checked. Pidun bet 55,000, Pauli check-raised all in, and Pidun called it off for about 200,000 total.

Thomer Pidun: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Sebastian Pauli: {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

Pidun's bigger pair remained best after the {9-Diamonds} turn and {3-Spades} river, leaving Pauli with just 27,000. He doubled those up in the next hand but remains dangerously short.
