"One Down, One to Go"

Before action began, "Crazy" Mike Thorpe told his table, "You guys are going to need to start gambling more!" He then raised from middle position and was called by Jonathan Little from the button and Mel Judah from the big blind.

The flop came {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{3-Spades}, Judah checked, Thorpe bet, and both Little and Judah called. The turn brought the {4-Diamonds} and Judah checked again. Thorpe tossed out a bet, Little folded and Judah called. Thorpe said, "One down, one to go" as the river brought the {k-Diamonds}. Judah again opted to check-call a bet from Thorpe.

Thorpe said "I think you've got me" as he tabled his {3-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for a pair of threes. Judah showed the {4-Spades}{2-Spades} for a pair of fours which was good enough to take the pot.
