McNicholas Rivers Two-Pair to Double Through Kurtz

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Matthew Kurtz opened on the button and three-bet to 10,500 from the small blind. Action folded back around to Kurtz who called to see a {6-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} flop.

McNicholas lead out for 11,000 getting a call from and both players checked to {2-Diamonds} turn to the {q-Spades} river.

McNicholas moved all in for 23,900 and Kurtz said, "Well if you have ace-queen I guess you deserve it," as he tossed in a chip for the call.

McNicholas didn't have the hand Kurtz thought he had, but he did river two-pair with {q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} to scoop the double as Kurtz tossed {a-Spades}{k-} into the muck disgusted.
