Picone Hits River, Still Loses
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Igor Picone and Sergio Coutinho were fighting over 70,000 chips when they went to a turn of K?7?J?A?. Picone checked from the hijack and Coutinho made a bet of 35,000 from the cutoff.
Picone made the call, and the Q? river completed the board. Picone checked once more and Coutinho checked behind after some thinking time.
Picone opened A?Q? for two pair, but Coutinho played the higher two pair with A?K? and won the pot.
