Suvarna Sneaks Up The Counts
On a turn reading 6♦3♥4♥3♣, Alex Livingston checked and Santhosh Suvarna placed a bet of 24,000. After some thought Livingston raised it to 80,000 and Suvarna tossed his hand in the muck.
The very next hand, Suvarna raised in middle position and was called by Ren Lin in the big blind.
The flop spread 3♥A♦2♦ and Ren Lin tapped the table. Suvarna then bet out 16,000 and Lin tossed in the call.
The turn was the 9♥ and both players checked, revealing the 4♣. Lin considered a bit before betting out 55,000. Suvarna made a small shrugging gesture and put out the call.
"Ayyeeeyaaaaa...." said Lin once he was called and showed the 7♥2♣ and Suvarna quickly revealed the A♣K♥, making his top pair the best hand against Lin's deuces.
Alex Livingston chirped up, "Ah, yes, a classic confrontation; seven-deuce and ace-king."
