The Best Pair For Hou
Level 28
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
All the players at the table folded to let Dorian Melchers and Jorge Hou in a blind versus blind situation. The Frenchman limped in the small blind, and Hou just checked his big blind to find K♥Q♠J♣ on the flop.
Both players checked this first street. But things changed on the turn Q♣ with Melchers betting 100,000. Hou called, and a 9♣ landed on the river.
Very concentrated, Melchers took some chips to bet 170,000. Hou snap called and won the pot with K♠3♠, as Melchers showed 4♥4♦.
