Deuces Lose Against the Queens
Level 4
: 200/400, 400 ante
With around 3,000 in the pot and the flop revealing 5♣5♥9♣, Barny Boatman checked to Kaza Paterson, who made a move with a bet of 2,000. After a moment's thought, Boatman called.
When the J♠ hit the turn, Boatman took the lead with a bet of 5,000, which Paterson promptly called.
Both players checked the 6♣ river, and Boatman revealed 2♠2♣ for two pair, fives and deuces. He already sensed he might not be winning this one, and he was right. Paterson turned over Q♣Q♦ for two pair, queens and fives, taking down the pot.
