Harwood Makes Two Pair
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Jay Harwood opened to 11,000 under the gun, and both Tim Van Loo and Jaspal Brar came along in the blinds.
The dealer fanned a flop of J♥9♦5♣ and both Van Loo and Brar checked to Harwood who continued for 19,000. Van Loo called quickly, while Brar took about 20 seconds before doing the same.
The 6♣ turn and 7♥ river were checked down and Harwood tabled Q♣J♣7♦5♦ for two pair, which was good to drag the pot.
