Checking Two Boards

The pace has slowed down considerably now and most of the onlooking spectators have now departed to seek their entertainment elsewhere.

The last two hands echoed the current mood. After checking down an {8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{K-Hearts} board, Jason Young took the pot by betting the {A-Hearts} river. "Can you beat the board?" inquired Mike Schwartz. "Because I can't."

The very next hand, the board was checked down again, including the river, Young's {4-Hearts}{2-Hearts} taking the pot with a {5-Clubs}{4-Spades}{A-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{7-Spades} on the felt.
