Varrasso Turns Two Pair
Level 35
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Brandon Shimamoto limped from the small blind and Luke Varrasso checked his option from the big blind.
The flop fell 9?10?A? which saw Shimamoto bet 500,000, Varrasso raised to 1,500,000, and Shimamoto called.
When the 6? hit the turn, both players elected to check to see the 4? river. Shimamoto bet 2,250,000, and Varrasso quickly called.
Shimamoto tabled A?5? for a pair of aces, but Varrasso had A?6? for two pair and took the pot,
