Higher Two Pair for Havacs

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Attila Havacs raised to 4,500 from the middle position and Daniele Bisaccia defended his big blind.

They both checked through the {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} flop to the {8-Spades} on the turn. A bet of 4,000 was called.

The river completed the board with the {j-Diamonds} and Bisaccia bet 7,500 which Havacs quickly called. Bisaccia tabled {9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} for the flopped two pair. Havas looked at the Bisaccia's cards and then turned over his own which were the {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} for the higher two pair to scoop the pot.

Chopped Pot for Rigano and Kaminek

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Robert Pekel limped in from under the gun and Stefano Maresco raised to 3,000 from the middle position. Jakub Kaminek called on the button and so did Carmelo Rigano.

They all checked through the {5-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{k-Hearts} on the flop and the {4-Spades} on the turn to the {4-Hearts} on the river. Rigano bet 6,200 and only Kaminek made the call. Rigano tabled {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs} for two pair, Kaminek quickly flipped over {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds} for the same exact hand to chop the pot.

"What the fuck..." Pekel commented and the whole table laughed.
