Hourani Has Superior Two Pair
Level 18
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Elias Hourani: 
/ 
Mark Barile: 
/ 
Four ways to fourth street, Mark Barile led out to the pot and only Elias Hourani stuck around. Hourani kept calling on fifth and sixth and then accidentally checked on the river before Barile made his turn. Barile asked the dealer whether the check is valid if he checks or not. When he got a positive answer, he tapped the felt.
"Kings up," Barile said, turning up kings and threes. But he was a hair short of Hourani's hand as he finished with better kings up.
