Alontsau’s Two Pair Claims the Pot
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Siarhei Alontsau opened the action with a raise to 100,000 from under the gun, and Pedro Marques defended his big blind with a call.
The flop came 7?J?Q?, and Marques check-called Alontsau’s continuation bet of 120,000.
On the J? turn, Marques switched gears, leading out with a 115,000 bet, which Alontsau called.
When the 4? landed on the river, Marques opted to check. Alontsau seized the opportunity to bet 200,000. After burning through two time bank cards, Marques made the call.
Alontsau revealed K?Q? for two pair, queens and jacks, which was enough to scoop the pot as Marques mucked his hand.
