Team Bagin Takes Two from Team Ali
Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Kevin Bagin and Patsy Altomari can’t seem to avoid each other early in Level 31.
In two separate clashes close to each other, Bagin’s aggression has proven the key.
In the first hand, Altomari raised to 400,000 in early position and action folded to Bagin in the big blind. Bagin came over the top with an all-in bet, which sent Altomari in the tank before he folded.
Two hands later, the two clashed again.
Bagin raised 400,000 on the button and Altomari defended in the big blind.
The dealer fanned J♦10♦4♣ on the flop, which both players checked. The J♥ on the turn saw the action check through, and the action repeated on the river after K♣ appeared on the board.
Altomari quickly tabled Ax6x, but Bagin tabled 2♠2♣ for two pair and the winning hand.
