Poudrier Wins Skirmish Versus Hankin
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
This hand was picked up on a flop that read 2♦K♠3♠ with 1,600 in the middle. Howard Hankin from the small blind checked it over to Yan Poudrier, who bet 1,200 from the hijack.
Hankin made the call to usher in the 8♥ turn. Both players checked to bring the 9♥ river. Hankin took the initiative with a bet of 2,100, which resulted in a call from Poudrier.
Hankin showed 10♣9♦ for a rivered pair of nines, but that was no good as Poudrier revealed K♥10♥ for a pair of kings to claim the pot.
