Hang Flops Two Pair and Fires Away

Level 2

No-Limit Hold'em

From the cutoff seat, Tommy Hang raised to 1,000. Sebatian Ruthenberg made the call on the button, and John Monnette made the call from the big blind. Then, the dealer spread the {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop. On the flop, Monnette checked. Hang fired a continuation bet of 1,800, Ruthenberg called, and Monnette folded.

The turn was the {Q-Spades}, and Hang fired 5,500. Again, Ruthenberg called.

The river completed the board with the {7-Clubs}, and Hang led with another bet. This time he wagered 11,000. Ruthenberg thought it over and wound up calling, but he couldn't produce better than the {4-Spades}{2-Spades} that hang turned over for two pair and mucked.

With that pot, Hang moved to 175,000, and Ruthenberg dropped back to the starting stack of 150,000.
