Kurko Takes a Little From Mao
Level 19
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Kimmo Kurko raised from the button to 20,000 and Renji Mao defended out of the big blind.
The two players checked a board of 10♣7♣6♠8♦A♦ all the way to the river before Mao put out a min-bet of 10,000. Kurko called and Mao turned over second pair with J♣10♦. Kurko had that beat with A♠8♥ for two pair, and the pot was pushed to him.
