Two Pair for Palsgrove
Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
John Fagg raised to 10,000 on the button, and Steven Ott came along in the small blind. James Palsgrove defended his big blind, and the 9♥9♦A♣ flop was fanned out.
Ott and Palsgrove checked to Fagg, who continued for 10,000. Only Palsgrove called to the 10♦ turn, checking once more. Fagg slid out a bet of 30,000, and Palsgrove did not take long to make the call.
One last check from Palsgrove followed the 7♥ river, and Fagg took a moment before opting to check it back. Palsgrove tabled Q♣10♣ for two pair, taking down the pot as Fagg mucked.
At the same time, Peggy Lester earned a double-up at the other table.
