"Pair the Board Twice"

Chad Holloway

We caught the action on the {2-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop when a raising war broke out between Charles Kassin and David Johnston that resulted in the latter being all in for right around 60,000.

Showdown
Kassin: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{J-Spades}{6-Spades}
Johnston: {A-Clubs}{4-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

"Pair the board twice," Kassin pleaded when he saw Johnston's hand; in other words, he really didn't want to see a low card that didn't pair the board. The dealer obliged on the turn, putting out the {5-Spades}, but didn't on the river; however, the {10-Hearts} that peeled off was just as good as Kassin won the pot and sent Johnston to the rail.
