Two Pair Good for Brunson

Seven-Card Stud:

A player in early position brought it in with the {3-Spades}, and Tony G made the call. Todd Brunson made it two bets to go, and both the bringer-in and Tony G matched the bet to see fourth street.

Bring-in: (X) (X) {3-Spades} {J-Spades} {K-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} (X)
Tony G: (X) (X) {4-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} (X)
Brunson: (X) (X) {J-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {9-Spades} (X)

On fourth and fifth streets, Brunson was doing the betting with both opponents calling at both times. On sixth, another Brunson bet folded the bring-in player, but Tony G called once again. He and Brunson checked it down on seventh street.

Brunson revealed ({3-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {10-Hearts}) {J-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {9-Spades} for tens up, and it was good. Guoga's down cards ({5-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {2-Diamonds}) gave him the inferior fives over fours, and he has slipped to about 110,000. Brunson is back to his starting stack of 150,000.
