A Better Two Pair for Wade
Tristan Wade was busy chatting with one of our reporters as the hand at his table finished up. Wade was set to be under the gun the next hand and said, "Hold on, I have to go straddle," before jumping back into his chair and blind raising to 200.
Action folded around to Johannes Holstege in middle position and he made the call. The player on the button called and then play moved to Michal Grzegorczyk in the big blind. He raised to 650. Wade tossed in the call and the two limpers came along as well.
The dealer produced the 
for the flop and Grzegorczyk bet 1,150. Wade was the only caller to see the 
pair the board on the turn. Here, Grzegorczyk bet 1,600 and Wade called. The river card was the 
and both players quickly checked to get to a showdown.
Grzegorczyk showed two pair, queens and threes, with an ace kicker after tabling his 
. Wade showed a better two pair with the 
for aces up and won the pot.
