Rezaei's Raise Paid Off
Level 6
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Majid Alimoradpour limped in from early position, prompting Daniel Rezaei to raise to 4,000. Both Presiyan Tsvetanov in the small blind and Alimoradpour called the raise.
The flop revealed 9♥K♣7♦, and the action checked around to Rezaei, who continued with a bet of 3,500, leaving only Tsvetanov to call.
The turn brought the 4♠, and both players checked again.
On the river, which showed 5♥, Tsvetanov took the initiative with a bet of 5,500. After some contemplation, Rezaei raised to 36,500, putting Tsvetanov in a tough spot. After a moment of thought, Tsvetanov opted to call. Rezaei revealed 9♣5♣ for two pair, and it was enough to take down the pot, as Tsvetanov sent his cards to the muck.
