Fintan Hand
Fintan Hand

Fintan "easywithaces" Hand opened to 920 from early position before he called a three-bet by "ctidwang" to 2,240 from the big blind.

"ctidwang" led out for 3,600 after the {9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} pounced on the flop and got a call.

"ctidwang" then fired out for 9,364 after the {8-Clubs} landed on the turn and Hand called with just 1,373 left behind.

Both players checked after the {9-Clubs} paired the board on the river.

Hand turned over {8-Spades}{7-Spades} and his two pair was counterfeited on the river with "ctidwang" winning the hand with {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}.

A short while later, Hand dusted off the rest of his chips and re-entered for a third bullet.
