Tamayo Moving Up

No-Limit Hold'em:

This hand happened just before the break.

From middle position, Jonathan Tamayo raised to 5,300 and Alexander Borteh called from the big blind. The flop came {8-Clubs} {6-Spades} {2-Spades} and both players checked.

When the turn fell the {K-Spades}, Borteh checked over to Tamayo. Tamayo bet out 8,000 and Borteh raised to 20,000. Tamayo called.

The river came the {3-Hearts} and Borteh bet 40,000. Tamayo almost beat him into the pot with a call and showed two pair, {K-Hearts} {2-Hearts}. Borteh said he had queen-high and mucked his hand.

This put Tamayo up to 233,500.
