Starostin Climbs Through Kent
Level 19
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Ivan Starostin opened to 16,000 from the cutoff and Brian Kent three-bet to 41,000 in the big blind. Starostin called and the dealer fanned out 
on the flop.
Both players checked to the 
turn card where Kent bet 45,000. Starostin called and the 
landed on the river. Both players checked and Kent tabled 
for two pair which was not good after Starostin showed 
for a higher two pair.
