Durham Hits Two Pair on the River
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Action went three-ways to a flop of 4♣8♦9♦ in a hand between George Durham in late position, the player on the button, and Carl Masters in the big blind.
It checked to the button, who fired out a nearly pot-sized bet of 8,000, and only Durham called, bringing the 7♥ turn.
Durham moved all in to put the button at risk, who had a little less than 10,000 behind, and the button quickly called.
Button: J♥J♦
George Durham: 5♥4♥
The 5♠ rolled off on the river, giving Durham two pair, fives and fours to send his opponent packing.
