flop brought about checks from both players as the

Flop: 
On the flop, Wang continued his aggression, sliding out a 6,000-chip bet.
"Alright, nice hand, well played," his opponent said as he sent the pot to Wang.
The board was 
and action went check, check between one player and Brendon Rubie. The river completed the board when the 
fell. There was now a pair of eights on board plus four spades. The first player checked and Rubie bet 1,700. His opponent made the call.
Rubie showed the 
for just queen high. His opponent tabled the 
for two pair and won the hand.
