Two Pairs Abound for Marcus

[user75032]

Stud:

With only four players remaining at the table, multi-way hands are becoming scarce. Thus we were quite surprised to see Jarred Solomon, Van Marcus and Michael Guzzardi all go to fourth street in a recent hand of seven-card stud. Guzzardi dropped out to a bet from Marcus on fourth street, but Solomon wanted to see another card. On fifth street, his board showed x-x / {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{4-Clubs}

{K-Hearts}

against Marcus' x-x / {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

. A single bet from Marcus was finally enough to fold Solomon.

Marcus obligingly showed {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{8-Hearts}

in the hole after the pot was pushed his way.

The game remained seven-card stud for the next hand the players were dealt. Marcus collected that pot on fourth street, showing another two pair with {6-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

{7-Spades}

/

{6-Diamonds}

{7-Clubs}

.
