"Two Pair is Good"

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Krista Farrell opened to 400 in middle position, and Azamat Isakov made the call in the hijack. Michael Matrone came along in the cutoff, as did Martin Ryan in the small blind.

The dealer flipped over the 7J5 flop, where all four players checked. Ryan tapped the table again after the A turn, and Farrell promptly slid out a bet of 800. Isakov called, with Ryan tossing in a call after Matrone folded.

Ryan checked again on the 6 river, and Farrell fired 1,500. Isakov answered with a raise to 6,600, producing a fold from Ryan. Farrell did not take long to make the call.

"Two pair," announced Farrell.

"Two pair is good," replied Isakov as he slid his cards into the muck and Farrell took down the pot without a showdown.
