Santa Maria Shows Down Deuces

Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Fernando Santa Maria opened to 12,000 from the hijack and received a call from Marian Dicu in the big blind.
Both players checked the A?A?5? flop leading to the 7? turn. Dicu check-called a 10,000 bet from Santa Maria.
Both players checked the K? river. Dicu could only show 9?6? for a missed gutshot straight draw while Santa Maria turned over 2?2? for pocket-twos to take the pot.
