Darie Hits the River
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Francesco Pilato opened to 60,000 from the small blind and Vlad Darie defended from the big blind.
The flop came A?9?8?. Pilato bet 30,000 and Darie made the call.
On the 2? turn Pilato fired again for 60,000. Darie put in a check-raise to 260,000 and Pilato made the call.
Both players checked the K? river. Pilato tabled J?J? while Darie showed down K?5? for pure air until the river. Darie's pair of kings were good for the winner and he took down a sizable pot.
