Gaines Gains Ground with Two Pair

Igor Pihela Sr. opened to 560,000 from the button with A 6 and was called by Glen Gaines with K 2 from the big blind.

Gaines check-called a bet of 400,000 on the 2 K Q flop before both players checked the 9 turn. The 9 river paired the board and Gaines jammed for 780,000 with the best hand. Pihela Sr. made the fold but Gaines gained ground on the gap between him and his opponent.

Igor Pihela Sr. – 5.7 million
Glen Gaines – 2.8 million
