Kanit Makes Two Pair at the Wrong Time
Level 38
: Blinds 5,000,000/10,000,000, 10,000,000 ante
Mustapha Kanit limped in from the small blind with 7♥5♥ and Yinan Zhou checked his big blind holding Q♦J♥. The flop came Q♣J♦5♣ and Kanit check-called a bet of 18,000,000 from Zhou.
The A♦ peeled off on the turn and Kanit turned his pair into a bluff with a bet of 47,000,000. Zhou just called with his two pair and the 7♠ completed the board.
Kanit sized up a bet of 95,000,000 on the river after making two pair. Zhou looked disturbed for a minute but eventually called with the better two pair. Kanit slipped to the short stack and Zhou opened up a big lead on his two opponents.
