Fuchs Calls Down for Two Pair, Leaves Kolev Short

Elias Gutierrez kicked off the action in the hijack with a raise to 800, drawing calls from Timo Kamphues in the cutoff and Boris Kolev on the button. Sitting in the big blind, Tom Fuchs decided to three-bet to 4,500, and only Kolev stayed in the hand with a call.

Fuchs led with a 4,400 bet on the 3♠8♥10♣ flop, which Kolev called without hesitation.

The 7♣ turn saw Fuchs slow down with a check, prompting Kolev to take the lead with a 6,500 bet. Fuchs thought it over but opted to call.

On the 9♣ river, Fuchs checked once again, and Kolev fired a final bet of 11,100. After taking his time to think it through, Fuchs eventually made the call. Kolev showed 4♥4♣ for a small pair, but Fuchs turned over 10♥9♥ for two pair, tens and nines, scooping the pot.
