Second Pair Good for Hand on Scary Board
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Fintan Hand and Leo Worthington-Leese had built a pot of around 20,000 on an all-club board of J♣Q♣8♣3♣. Hand was in the small blind and checked it over, and Worthington-Leese also knuckled back.
The 5♠ on the river was also checked down, and Hand flipped A♦J♥ for a pair of jacks. Worthington-Leese didn't have that beat as his cards hit the muck, which gave Hand a boost to his stack as the dinner break approached.
