State Can't Beat Two Tens
Level 4
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Adrian State opened from the hijack with the player in the small blind calling, and Andres Vasquez defending his big blind.
After two checks, State put out a continuation-bet of 2,500 on the 7♥5♠7♣ flop. The small blind called, but Vasquez folded.
State's opponent checked the J♠ turn, and he fired a second barrel of 5,000. The small blind player quickly called.
The 8♠ river checked through and the small blind player showed 10♦10♣. State nodded his head to indicate the pocket tens were good, and returned his cards to the dealer.
