Two Pair No Good For Engel

A player in middle position opened to 1,500. He was called by Ari Engel in the hijack, the player in the small blind, and Adolfo Vaeza in the big blind.

The flop came down {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and action checked to Engel. He bet 1,900, but was immediately raised to 4,000 by the player in the small blind. Vaeza and the middle-position player folded, Engel called, and the {4-Diamonds} hit the turn. The bet was 4,000 from the player in the small blind. Another call from Engel landed the {7-Diamonds} on the river which the player in the small blind checked. Engel bet 9,400, but was met with a quick call.

Both flopped two pair, but the {A-Clubs}{K-Spades} of the player in the small blind bested Engel's {A-Diamonds}{8-Spades} to win the pot.
