Two Pair is Good

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Carlos Mortensen raised to 250 from under the gun and was called by the player next to act. The flop came {10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and Mortensen bet 400. The other player raised to 1,850 and Mortensen called. The turn brought the {q-Hearts} and Mortensen check-called his opponent's all-in bet of 800.

Mortensen: {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{4-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{6-Clubs}

Mortensen's pair of tens and gutshot straight draw was trailing to the other player's aces. Unfortunately for the other player the river brought the {4-Hearts} giving Mortensen two pair and the win.

Mortensen now has 6,000 in addition to his two add-on chips.
