Second Pair is Good for Altman

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Brian Altman opened to 23,000 from early position and Navot Golan three-bet to 70,000 from middle position. The action folded back to Altman who called to see a flop of {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{5-Spades}. Altman checked to Golan who continued for 57,000 and Altman still called.

The turn was the {9-Spades} and Altman checked again. Golan checked behind and the {4-Clubs} completed the board. Altman checked one more time and Golan followed suit. Altman tabled {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts} and that proved to be good enough to win the pot.

Here is how the secondary feature tables lines up.
