Belcher Rivers Two Pair
Level 8
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Vinay Boob opened 32,000 in the hijack and both Matthew Belcher on the button as well as Geoffrey Hum in the big blind made the call.
All three players checked to the J♥5♦3♣7♣ turn, where Hum led for 75,000. Boob made the call, and Belcher asked to see Hum's stack before deciding to do the same.
The 10♦ fell on the river and Hum slowed down with a check. Boob fired 155,000 across the line, which Belcher called and Hum mucked his hand.
Boob tabled K♦J♠ for top pair but was shown the bad news as Belcher tabled J♣10♣ for two pair.
