Esquivel Makes Two Pair the Hard Way
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Travis Lauson raised to 9,000 from middle position, and Michael Esquivel three-bet to 24,000 on the button. Lauson called.
Lauson checked the 
flop to Esquivel, who bet 22,000. Lauson called.
Both players checked the 
turn, and Lauson checked a third time on the 
river. Esquivel bet 40,000, and Lauson called. Esquivel flipped over 
for runner-runner two pair after the flop, and Lauson smirked, then mucked.
