Abakanov Wins an Early Pot From Urbonas
Level 1
: 25/50, 0 ante
A few months ago, Lithuania's Mantas Urbonas notched his biggest live tournament score with a fourth-place finish in the Battle of Malta Main Event for €121,500.
Urbonas is among the early entries in the field and is off to a slow start. In a recent hand, Andres Abakanov bet 1,650 into a pot of around 3,000 with the board reading 
and quickly got a call from Urbonas.
Abakanov turned over 
for two-pair and Urbonas looked like he was going to toss his hand face down into the muck. Instead, he showed the table he wasn't light after turning over 
for a lower two-pair.
