Kaukua Shows Down a King
Level 2
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Toni Kaukua and Igor Pihela built a pot of around 14,000 as they went heads-up to the 5♠K♠9♥ flop. Pihela then bet from the big blind before Kaukua raised to 12,000 in early position.
Pihela called and the 4♠ fell on the turn. Kaukua then bet another 20,000 and Pihela again called.
Pihela checked over to Kaukua on the 9♠ river and Kaukua this time checked back. Pihela then showed Q♠Q♥, but Kaukua had A♠K♣ for top pair to win the pot.
