Fours are Better than Deuces

[user75032]

In the battle of small pairs, Daniel Schreiber came out on top. He raised preflop to 2,000 and was called only by the big blind. Both players checked after the dealer spread a flop of {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

{K-Hearts}

{8-Diamonds}

. When the {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

hit the turn, the big blind fired off a bet of 3,000 chips. Schreiber gave things a moment's thought before calling.

Both players again checked the river {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

. The big blind showed {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

{3-Spades}

for a pair of deuces, but Schreiber had outflopped him with {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{4-Clubs}

for a pair of fours.
