Two Pair Work for Wong
Stud
Of the six stud hands, the first saw the most action, while the last two saw a couple of instances of players making big open pairs on fourth street to win small pots.
In the first hand Scott Abrams completed and both Christopher George and Brandon Wong called. Abrams then checked fourth and when George bet only Wong stuck around. George led on fifth and Wong called, then George check-called a Wong bet on sixth.
Abrams: (
) / 
— FOLDED
George: () / 
Wong: () / 
On seventh both remaining players checked, and Wong tabled 
for eights and sixes. It was good enough, as George folded.
The fifth hand of the round saw Abrams pairing his showing queen on fourth, scattering two opponents. Then the last saw Wong pairing his up card king on fourth, and Saffari backed away at the sight of the big pair.
