Boivin Shows Down a Bigger Pair
Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Santhosh Suvarna raised to 3,500 in the cutoff, then called when Thomas Boivin three-bet to 13,000 on the button.
The flop came Q?4?3? and Boivin continued for 9,000. Suvarna called to see the 3? turn.
Boivin then bet 17,000 and Suvarna again called. The river was the J? and Suvarna checked for a third time. Boivin checked back and Suvarna turned over 8?8?.
Boivin, though, had 9?9? as he took the pot.
