Two Times the Flopped Two Pair

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Fabrizio Privitera raised to 2,200 from the hijack and was called by Antoine Degiorgio on the button and Alessandro Pichierri in the small blind.

They all checked through the {9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop to the {k-Spades} on the turn. Pichierri bet 3,800 and only Privitera called.

The {q-Clubs} completed the board on the river and they both checked again. Pichierri tabled {9-Spades}{5-Spades} for two pair and Privitera showed {9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for the lower two pair to see the pot awarded to Pichierri.

Jorstad Sits Straight

The board read {4-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{9-Hearts} with a pot containing around 16,000 already. Espen Uhlen Jorstad had checked in the small blind and Michal Wilczynski was considering what to do in the big blind. After a while, Wilczynski opted to also check. Jorstad tabled {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs} for the pair of jacks and improved to two pair on the river and that was enough to scoop up the pot.

"I wish I could sit as straight as you! Not all slumped over like I normally do!" Clint Sammut exclaimed for Jorstad to respond with a laugh.
