Zur Linden's Two Pair Holds Through the River
Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Alexander zur Linden, from the cutoff, was facing a bet of 24,500 from the player seated to his left, a wager that represented nearly his entire stack.
The board showed Q♦7♣5♠K♦, and after using close to three minutes of time, zur Linden committed the call. On the 3♣ river, he checked the action back to his opponent, who bet about 6,700, exactly what the German had left behind.
Without hesitation, zur Linden called and was shown A♦10♦ for a missed flush draw from the button. Zur Linden tabled 7♥5♥ for two pair, good enough to secure a pot worth close to 80,000 chips.
