Two Pairs Are Enough
Level 39
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Daniel Trunk picked up K♠Q♦ on the button and decided to take control of the hand with a raise to 1,700,000. In the small blind, Rostyslav Sabishchenko looked down at A♣J♥ and opted to go all in, putting Trunk to the test. Trunk quickly made the call, eager to see the showdown.
The flop came down J♠9♦A♥, giving Sabishchenko two pairs and putting him in a commanding position. Trunk was looking for a ten to complete his straight, but the turn and river brought 6♣ and 7♥, neither of which helped his hand. With that, Sabishchenko successfully doubled up, solidifying his stack.
