Svoboda Loses With Top Pair
Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Marius Gicovanu raised from the button and both blinds Kevin Roethlisberger and Petr Svoboda called. The 7♠6♠K♥ flop was checked to Gicovanu, who continuation-bet for 23,000. Roethlisberger folded quickly, but Svoboda made the call.
Svoboda then also check-called the 76,000 bet of Gicovanu on the Q♦ turn, before the subsequent 5♦ river was checked by both players.
Svoboda confidently tabled his K♣9♠ for top pair, but it was outdone by the Q♣7♣ of Gicovanu, who was sitting on two pair.
