Pappas Turns a Better Two Pair

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Roman Shainiuk open-limped in the hijack and saw Billy Pappas raise to 800 on the button. The big blind called, as did Shainiuk, and the three went to a flop of {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{q-Spades}.

Action checked to Pappas and he made a continuation-bet of 1,700, which was check-raised by the big blind to a minimum value of 3,400. Shainiuk got out of the way and then Pappas thought for about a minute before calling.

The turn came {7-Hearts} and the big blind bet 7,000. Pappas took about 25 seconds and then shoved for 19,000. The big blind confirmed the amount and took about 20 seconds before making the call.

Billy Pappas; {a-Spades}{7-Spades}
Big Blind: {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

The big blind had flopped aces up but Pappas turned a better version of it and faded the two outer on the river {j-Diamonds} to earn the double.
