David Wang raised to 2,100 in the cutoff, and was called by Sebastian Pauli in the small blind and Erik Seidel in the big blind.

The flop came 986 and it checked to Wang, who bet 2,200. Only Seidel called to see the 4 turn, where both players checked.

On the 3 river, Seidel tossed out a 5,000 denomination chip, and Wang made the call.

"Two pair," announced Seidel as he turned over Q976 to take down the pot.
