Lehavot and Stein Battle in Big Pot

Action folded to Amir Lehavot in the small blind and he made it 75,000 to go. Sam Stein defended in the big blind and the duo watched the flop come down {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{J-Spades}. Lehavot led out for another 75,000, and again Stein made the call.

The dealer slowly burned and turned the {9-Spades}, at which point Lehavot check-called a bet of 115,000. Lehavot then checked the {8-Hearts} river and Stein bet 245,000. Lehavot eyed his opponent's stack but then settled on making the call. Stein confidently turned over {J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} for two pair, but was soon stunned as Lehavot rolled over {K-Clubs}{8-Spades} for a higher two pair.
