Two Tales of Two Pair

Two pair giveth to Grant Levy, and two pair taketh away.

First, Levy hit top two pair with {A-Clubs}

against Daniel Schreiber on a board of {9-Spades}

. Levy bet 3,000 on the river and was raised to 6,000 by Schreiber. Levy made the call and won the pot when Schreiber tabled {A-Hearts}

for a smaller two pair.

A few hands later, however, two pair proved disastrous for Levy. With the board showing {K-Diamonds}

, Levy got all in three ways with a short-stacked player and with Markus Mansour. The short stack had {K-?}

for a pair of kings; Levy tabled {K-Hearts}

for top two. The only problem was that Mansour had flopped a set of fours. The river came {J-Spades}

and missed everyone.

After these hands, Levy's stack fell back to 50,000 while Mansour climbed to that same 50,000 mark.
