Loon with the better pair


Yah Loon and Le Ngoc Khanh engaged in the first hand of the day that made it all the way to the river. It began with Loon with a raise to 50k and Khanh called from the big blind. At the flop of K Q 8, both checked for a free turn card of 2. Acting first, Le slid out 65k and Loon flat-called. When the river felted a Q, both tapped the felt and revealed their hole cards. Le had J 2 for bottom pair which was not good enough against Loon’s K 9 top pair.
