Thomas Miressi open-raised in middle position. Omar Mehmood pushed in a third bet from the hijack, which Miressi called. Miressi check-called Mehmood's continuation-bet on the K♦Q♣A♥ flop, and checked the subsequent 3♣ turn as well.
Mehmood flicked in another bet, but this time Miressi raised. Mehmood called after some thought, and did the same when Miressi fired a final barrel on the 5♦ river.
Miressi announced two pair and tabled A♠5♠, but it was no good against the A♣Q♠ of Mehmood, who had flopped a higher two pair to take the pot.
