Queens Good for Rasskazov
Level 5
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
The action was picked up on the turn in a hand between Belarmino De Souza from the small blind and Pavel Rasskazov from the hijack.
With the board reading 8♣7♣5♦4♥, De Souza led with a bet of 50,000 and Rasskazov put in the call.
On the 9♠ river, De Souza fired again for 55,000 which sent Rasskazov deep into the tank. After almost two minutes of thinking, he decided to put in the call.
Belarmino De Souza: 10♥10♠
Pavel Rasskazov: Q♠Q♦
Both players held an overpair to the board but Rasskazov's queens were best as he dragged a sizeable pot.
