Karoui Beaten By Two Pairs
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
A player on the button opened to 13,000, and Moncef Karoui defended from the big blind.
On the flop A?A?J?, the button continued with a bet of 8,000. Karoui, who had checked, looked at his cards and kept calling.
The 2? came on the turn, but didn't change anything as both players checked. There could be more action on the river 6?. But Karoui and his opponent checked once more.
Karoui showed Q?10? for a missed straight draw and seemed to know he lost this hand. But he was surprised to see 6?2? in his opponent's hands, who had two pairs.
