Matthew Ashton brought in with the deuce, and Mike Gorodinsky called. Kristopher Tong completed, and George Fotiadis made the call, as did Ashton and Gorodinsky. Fotiadis led out on fourth street, and Ashton and Gorodinsky called. Tong got out of the way, and everyone checked through on fifth street. Gorodinsky fired out on sixth street, and Ashton was the only caller that time, as Fotiadis folded. Gorodinsky fired on seventh, Ashton called, and Gorodinsky showed {6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{4-Spades} for two pair and a low. Ashton showed {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{5-Hearts} for a better two pair, and the two of them chopped it up.

The big thing from this hand is that Tong is now down to less then nine big bets, sitting on 180,000.
