Two For McEvoy

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante

In the first hand, an early position player raised to 600 and got one caller in the small blind plus Tom McEvoy in the big blind.

The flop came {8-Spades}{3-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, and when checked to, McEvoy led for 800, and both opponents snap-folded, giving McEvoy a pot.

The second hand was picked up on a three-way contested flop reading {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{9-Hearts}, with action checking to McEvoy, who bet 1,000, which both players called.

The turn {8-Diamonds} and river {2-Clubs} was checked through, and McEvoy said, "I have a pair," while he turned over {3-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. It was good for the pot as the other two players mucked.
