McGowan Wins Back-to-Back Hands With Two Pair

Level 34 : 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

David McGowan raised to 800,000 and Gediminas Uselis called bringing about the {a-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} flop.

Uselis check-called McGowan all the way down, first for 700,000, then for 1,700,000 after the {k-Spades} turn and then once again for 4,000,000 after the {7-Clubs} completed the boar on the river.

McGowan rolled over {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for a flopped two-pair and Uselis mucked his hand.

The very next hand, Uselis raised to 900,000 and McGowan defended. The {5-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{j-Spades} flop was checked by both players and the dealer dropped the {q-Hearts} on the turn.

McGowan led out for 1,400,000 and Uselis called to see the {5-Spades} complete the board on the river.

McGowan led out once again, this time for 2,000,000 and Uselis called on to fold after McGowan showed {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for top two-pair.
