Ryan Lashmar

Level 8 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Mikhail Semin opened to 12,000 from early position. An opponent in the big blind three-bet to 42,000 and Semin called.

The flop came A♣6♥5♥ and Semin called a 27,000 continuation bet from his opponent.

Both players then checked the 9♠ turn and 10♣ river. Semin's opponent could only show K♥5♠ for a pair of fives while Semin tabled K♦K♣ for a pair of kings to take the pot.
