El Khayati Hits a Pair on the River

Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Abdelhamid El Khayati defended from the big blind after Andras Balogh opened to 22,000 from the button.
El Khayati quickly called when Balogh bet 16,000 on the flop Q♦2♦9♠. But on the turn 3♥, the action slowed down as both players checked.
The 6♣ came on the river, and El Khayati checked again. Balogh checked back, but mucked his cards after El Khayati showed A♦6♦ for a pair hit on the river.
