Petkov's Higher Two Pair Sends Uhara Home
Level 5
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Yiannis Liperis raised to 2,200 from the hijack with Motokatsu Uhara calling from the cutoff before Lachezar Petkov three-bet to 9,200 from the button. Liperis folded, but Uhara called.
The flop came down K?4?5? and Uhara check-called a bet of 4,500 from Petkov.
The A? fell on the turn and Uhara check-called another bet from Petkov, this time for 15,000.
When the J? hit the river, Uhara checked and Petkov bet 40,000, which was slightly more than what was remaining in Uhara's stack. Uhara reluctantly called and Petkov flipped over A?K? for top two pair. It was good to win the pot and eliminate Uhara as he turned over A?J? for a lower two pair.
