Nalbandyan's Top Pair Enought to Secure Pot
The start of Level 9 saw Joe Nalbandyan involved in a pot that quickly grew after the flop.
After players in early position folded, a player to Nalbandyan��s immediate right open-raised in middle position. Nalbandyan, who was in the hijack position, flatted and the remaining players, including the two blinds, folded.
The dealer placed 9?10?K? on the flop, which led to the original raiser to check. Nalbandyan made a bet and his out-of-position opponent quickly called. The turn produced 5?, which saw identical action from the flop with a check, bet and call from the players.
The river saw 7? hit the board, and for a third time, the original raiser checked and Nalbandyan put out a third bet of the hand. His opponent paused for a moment while studying the board before deciding to make the call.
Nalbandyan tabled K?Q? for top pair, which proved the winner as his opponent mucked his hand.
