Whalen Runs Into a Better Two Pair
Level 26
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Heads-up in a blind versus blind battle, Richard Wallace bet 60,000 on a flop of 4♥Q♥5♦ and small blind Robert Whalen called.
The turn came the 8♠ and Wallace moved all in for around 500,000. "You're going all in? Wow, wow," Whalen said before he eventually called.
Whalen turned over 5♥4♦ for two pair, but Wallace had Q♦5♠ for a higher two pair.
The river came the 6♦ and Wallace doubled up.
