Two Tales of Two Pair

Grant Levy is still near the top.
Grant Levy is still near the top.
Two pair giveth to Grant Levy, and two pair taketh away.

First, Levy hit top two pair with {A-Clubs} {J-Spades} against Daniel Schreiber on a board of {9-Spades} {J-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {A-Diamonds}. Levy bet 3,000 on the river and was raised to 6,000 by Schreiber. Levy made the call and won the pot when Schreiber tabled {A-Hearts} {5-Hearts} for a smaller two pair.

A few hands later, however, two pair proved disastrous for Levy. With the board showing {K-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {4-Spades} {8-Spades}, Levy got all in three ways with a short-stacked player and with Markus Mansour. The short stack had {K-?} {5-?} for a pair of kings; Levy tabled {K-Hearts} {8-Hearts} for top two. The only problem was that Mansour had flopped a set of fours. The river came {J-Spades} and missed everyone.

After these hands, Levy's stack fell back to 50,000 while Mansour climbed to that same 50,000 mark.
