Castro's Bigger Two Pair Gets There

Sava Krink
Sava Krink
Level 29 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 0 ante

Daniel Negreanu opened to 18,000 with 6♣2♣, and Harvey Castro came along with 9♦6♠.

The flop fell 2♠9♥6♥, giving both players two pair. Negreanu continued for 18,000, and Castro called.

The 8♣ hit the turn, and Castro checked again. Negreanu kept up the pressure with a bet of 60,000, which Castro called.

When the 5♣ completed the board, Castro took the lead and bet 18,000. Negreanu made the call, only to see that Castro's nines and sixes were good enough to beat his sixes and deuces.
