Runner-Runner for Nia
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Faraz Jaka opened to 60,000 on the button with K♣7♠, with Michael Nia announcing a call holding A♣2♥ in the small blind and Elvyn Bello defending his big blind with 9♥4♥.
The dealer fanned out the 4♠5♥5♣ flop and Nia checked. Bello followed with a check before Jaka fired 70,000. Nia and Bello both made the call.
Nia checked again after finding two pair on the 2♦ turn and Bello bet 125,000. Jaka folded and Nia made the call. The 2♣ river saw Nia connect for a full house, checking over the Bello.
Bello quickly checked back and saw the bad news, as Nia showed down his deuce to claim the pot.
