Two for Pelton Against Eldridge

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

David Eldridge defended his big blind from a Chan Pelton under-the-gun open to 7,000, and he check-called 6,500 on the {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop. He check-called 12,500 more on the {2-Clubs} turn and then checked the {5-Spades} river. Pelton moved in for 34,000 and Eldridge quickly called.

"One pair," Pelton announced.

Eldridge showed {a-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} but that was no good against [actd.

"Just so you guys know, if I say one pair, I have like... fives," Matt Glantz said with a chuckle.

The next hand, Eldridge limped the button and both blinds came along. Pelton led out for 4,000 on the {9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{k-Hearts} flop, and he then check-called 10,500 on the {q-Diamonds} turn. Both checked the {6-Spades} river, and Pelton showed {q-}{10-}. Eldridge slapped down {10-}{9-} in frustration.
