Hand Hits Two Pair
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
The action was caught on a flop of Q♥7♦5♠. Fabian Niederreiter checked in the small blind, after which Fintan Hand bet 1,000 in the big blind. Niederreiter raised to 3,000, which Hand called.
The 8♥ turn was then checked through before Niederreiter fired 7,500 on the K♦ river. Hand called and showed 7♣5♣ for two pair.
Niederreiters K♣4♦ for top pair was no good, and Hand chipped up to nearly double starting stack.
