Tamm Finds River Hero Call
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Taago Tamm opened to 1,100 under the gun, and received a call from Suhan Guler in the next seat.
On the 9♣8♥8♦ flop, Tamm continued with a bet of 800, receiving a call from Guler.
The 4♥ hit on the turn, and Tamm fired again with a bet of 2,300, which Guler again called.
The 9♦ river brought a double-paired board, and Tamm checked. Guler fired out a bet of 7,200, and after a brief period of thought, Tamm made the call.
Guler frowned and tabled 5♥5♣, his pocket pair having been counterfeited, and playing two pair, nines and eights, with a five kicker, marginally better than the board.
Any card above a five would do for Tamm, and he showed K♥Q♦ for two pair, nines and eights, with a king kicker, sending him the pot.
