Blanco with Top Pair
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Lucas Blanco opened to 80,000 from the hijack and he was called by Vladimir Minko in the cutoff.
Blanco checked the 6♠5♣K♥ flop then called after Minko bet 70,000. Minko fired a second barrel of 150,000 on the Q♣ turn, and Blanco check-called again.
The 10♠ river brought no more action and Blanco flipped over K♣J♥ for top pair. It was enough to make Minko fold and to scoop the pot.
