Small Pair Holds Strong
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Cengiz Aksu started the action with a raise to 3,000 from under the gun, and Adi Rajkovic made the call from the big blind.
On the 3?9?3? flop, Rajkovic checked, prompting Aksu to bet 2,500. Rajkovic responded with a raise to 6,500, and Aksu called.
Both players then checked through the 10? turn and the 8? river, taking it to showdown. Rajkovic revealed 5?5? for two pair, fives and threes, and that was enough to send Aksu’s hand into the muck.
