Pastore Wins with Better Two Pair
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Demosthenes Kiriopoulos opened to 12,000 from the hijack and Jonathan Pastore defended from the big blind.
The flop came K?Q?6? and Pastore check-called a 9,000 continuation bet from Kiriopoulos.
Both players checked the 9? turn leading to the 8? river. Pastore bet 10,000, Kiriopoulos raised to 60,000 and Pastore quickly called.
Kiriopoulos tabled Q?8? for two pair but Pastore showed down K?6? for a bigger two pair to take down a healthy pot.
