Another One Bites the Dust

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

With the flop showing the {q-Spades}{10-Spades}{2-Diamonds}, Matt Francis checked the action to his opponent who bet 1,200. Francis then put out a raise that covered his opponent's stack. The other player tanked for a few minutes and looked like he was going to fold but then put the rest of his chips in and showed his {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. Francis flipped over the {Q-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for two pair and the best hand. The {4-Hearts} on the turn and {j-Diamonds} on the river changed nothing and Francis padded his stack a bit as the other player left the table.
