Russell Crane Runs Two Pair Into a Straight

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

Russell Crane Here on Day 1

Russell Crane has been on quite the run here at the 2013 World Series of Poker, making three deep runs (Events #6, 14, & 34) to earn more than $85,000, and finishing in the top ten on two occasions, most recently in the $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em Turbo event.

Crane was spotted playing a pot here today, but unfortunately for him the run good he has enjoyed this summer was nowhere to be found.

We caught the action on the turn, with the board reading {j-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. Crane led out for a bet of 900, and his opponent deliberated for a few moments before making the call. When the {5-Spades} completed the board on the river, Crane again led out, this time for a bet of 2,000.

"I don't think I can fold here," was the other player's response. "You have a baby flush though don't you?"

Eventually the player rolled out four blue T500 tournament chips for the call, and Crane announced "you're probably good then" with a laugh, while turning over the {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for two pair on the turn. Crane's suspicions proved to be accurate when his opponent rolled over the {K-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for a straight.
