Small Pair Holds Strong
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Cengiz Aksu started the action with a raise to 3,000 from under the gun, and Adi Rajkovic made the call from the big blind.
On the 3♦9♦3♠ flop, Rajkovic checked, prompting Aksu to bet 2,500. Rajkovic responded with a raise to 6,500, and Aksu called.
Both players then checked through the 10♠ turn and the 8♥ river, taking it to showdown. Rajkovic revealed 5♣5♦ for two pair, fives and threes, and that was enough to send Aksu’s hand into the muck.
