Better Two Pair for Otero
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Charles Russell raised to 450,000 from middle position with A♠9♥, and he was only called by Guillermo Sanchez Otero in the small blind with A♦Q♠.
After they both checked the A♣4♠5♦ flop, Otero led out for 850,000 on the 6♠ turn. Russell called, then Otero fired a second barrel of 2,100,000 on the 6♣ river.
Russell went into the tank and called, but he had to give his cards to the dealer as Otero revealed a better two pair.
