Two Pairs Are Enough
Level 39
: Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante
Daniel Trunk picked up K?Q? on the button and decided to take control of the hand with a raise to 1,700,000. In the small blind, Rostyslav Sabishchenko looked down at A?J? and opted to go all in, putting Trunk to the test. Trunk quickly made the call, eager to see the showdown.
The flop came down J?9?A?, giving Sabishchenko two pairs and putting him in a commanding position. Trunk was looking for a ten to complete his straight, but the turn and river brought 6? and 7?, neither of which helped his hand. With that, Sabishchenko successfully doubled up, solidifying his stack.
