Arnold Climbing, Popyk Survives

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

With Igor Popyk sitting all in from the small blind, Alexandre Arnold and Brian Lesser checked the 9K2 flop.

Arnold led out for 50,000 from the big blind on the [3h turn, with Lesser calling from under the gun. Arnold fired again on the J turn, sliding out a bet of 200,000.

Lesser let his hand go, and Arnold turned over 98 for a pair of nines. Popyk tabled K2 for two pair, earning the main pot to stay alive.
