The Tables Turned Twice

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On a heads-up flop of {j-Spades}{2-Spades}{5-Hearts} Pavlo Veksler moved all in against opponent alex Berenson for 87,700. After a few moments, Berenson called and the cards were tabled, with Veksler at risk.

Pavlo Veksler: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}
Alex Berenson: {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

The turn was the miracle card for Berenson as it gave him the lead with two pair but the river {5-Clubs} was a dagger as it gave Veksler a superior two pair with aces and fives. But Veksler didn't even know he'd won and he stood up to leave until people told him he had won the had.

"Ohh, I thought he had pocket queens," he explained as he stacked his new chips and Berenson was left very short.
