Fishman's Two Pair Busts Two Players

Level 7 : 100/200, 25 ante

In a three-way pot in which two players found their tournament lives on the line, Craig Fishman tabled the {A-Spades}{K-Hearts} and found himself in great shape against the {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades} and {10-Spades}{4-Spades} of his opponents.

The player holding the worst hand was optimistic upon seeing the similar high-card hands held by the others, stating "you guys are toast, I got the ten-four."

The flop rolled out {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and Fishman's big slick remained in the lead. A {7-Hearts} on the turn officially eliminated the previously hopeful player holding ten-high, and we were off to the river with Fishman needing to dodge a queen to win the pot.

River: {A-Diamonds}

And with that, Fishman's two pair were good and he dragged a very large pot of nearly 18,000 chips his way.
