Karoui Beaten By Two Pairs
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
A player on the button opened to 13,000, and Moncef Karoui defended from the big blind.
On the flop A♠A♥J♥, the button continued with a bet of 8,000. Karoui, who had checked, looked at his cards and kept calling.
The 2♦ came on the turn, but didn't change anything as both players checked. There could be more action on the river 6♠. But Karoui and his opponent checked once more.
Karoui showed Q♠10♥ for a missed straight draw and seemed to know he lost this hand. But he was surprised to see 6♣2♣ in his opponent's hands, who had two pairs.
