Dwayne Sluis opened to 500 from the hijack, and was only called by Alexandru Jambor in the big blind.
On a flop of 9♥2♠5♦, Sluis continued with a bet of 500, and Jambor called. Then he fired a second barrel of 800 on the turn A♦ that Jambor called again.
Both players finally checked the river 5♣, and Jambor revealed his J♠9♠ for two pair. But it wasn't enough to beat Sluis' two pair with Q♠Q♦.
