Berkvens Plays It Slow

Level 6 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Bram Berkvens and Farid Fawzi were heads up in a pot worth 13,500. The action was caught on a {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}{a-Spades} flop and Berkvens had bet a measly 700 chips from the big blind. Fawzi responded with a raise to 2,700, which Berkvens called after some time in the tank.

The turn came the {4-Clubs} and Berkvens checked to Fawzi, who threw in a T-5000 chip for a new bet. Berkvens called again, and the {5-Clubs} river was put on the felt.

The action slowed down now, as both players checked. Berkvens showed the slowplayed {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} and Fawzi mucked his hand, later claiming that he had {a-}{k-} for top two pair with the best kicker. A cooler in favor of Berkvens, who chipped up nicely.
