Profaca Progressing

Benedetto Passantino came in with a raise to 800 from early position, and both David Profaca and Paul Khoury came along to the flop.

It brought {7-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {6-Spades}. Passantino checked, and Profaca bet 3,000. Khoury called, while the original raiser let his hand go.

The turn came the {A-Spades}, and both players checked.

Fifth street was the {8-Hearts}. Khoury led out this time, slipping 5,000 chips into the middle. Profaca made the call.

Showdown:
Profaca: {10-Clubs} {10-Spades}
Khoury: {6-Clubs} {7-Hearts}

Khoury had flopped two pair, but Profaca imroved to a better two pair by the river. He is up to 24,000 now, while Khoury has slipped back to 36,000.
