Sam Gorr Calls the Sherif

We join the action on the flop in a pot between Sherif Derias and Sam Gorr. The dealer spreads out {Q-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {J-Spades}. Derias leads out with a bet of 6,500, and Gorr calls.

Fourth street brings the {7-Clubs}, and both players check. Fifth street is the {K-Hearts}. Derias leads again, this time with 12,500 chips. Gorr makes the call, and it's showdown time. Derias tables {K-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds}, having made two pair on the last two cards. It's no good though; Gorr flips over {K-Spades} {Q-Clubs} for the better two pair. He drags in a sizable pot, chipping up to 117,000. Derias is hurting, down to his last 18,000 checks.
