Alontsau’s Two Pair Overpowers Studniarz’s
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Sylwia Studniarz raised to 100,000 from the button, and Siarhei Alontsau called from the big blind.
On the K♥Q♠Q♣ flop, Alontsau checked, and Studniarz continued with a 75,000 bet. Alontsau called.
Both players checked the 4♦ turn.
When the A♥ landed on the river, Alontsau checked again, and Studniarz bet 200,000. Alontsau quickly called, revealing A♠K♠ for two pair, aces and kings. Studniarz showed A♥8♠ for two pair, aces and queens, and Alontsau took the pot.
With a grin, Alontsau said, “Maybe you have jack-ten – you're dangerous,” before claiming the chips.
