Ilavsky Wins a Big Pot with Two Pair
Level 4
: 400/800, 800 ante
Ferenc Csaba Pal opened for 1,800 from the cutoff. Aleksandr Apryan called from the button before Martin Ilavsky three-bet to 8,100 from the big blind. Pal called and Apryan folded.
Both players checked the 
flop before things got interesting after the 
came on the turn. Ilavsky led out for 8,000 before he called a raise from Pal to 22,500.
Ilavsky checked after the 
completed the board on the river. The action paused on Pal for close to three minutes before he bet 46,000. Ilavsky appeared to be in pain for about 20 seconds before he opted to make the call.
"Nice call," said Pal who turned over 
and knew he was behind even before Ilavsky turned over 
for two pair.
