Two Pair No Good?

John Dalessandri
John Dalessandri
John Dalessandri is now amongst the chip leaders after taking down a huge pot on the turn.

Preflop, it was 1,550 three ways to the {A-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop. Two checks and the player in late position fired 4,500. One player folded as Dalessandri thought for a few moments before making the call.

The turn was the {9-Spades} and Dalessandri checked before being met with a bet of 6,500. Dalessandri quickly announced he was all in for an additional 13,825, as it was his opponent's turn in the think tank.

Dalessandri rocked back in his chair with arms folded over his head, as his opponent fired a barrage of probing questions.

"Is two pair no good?" he asked, but Dalessandri didn't respond. The player found a fold and Dalessandri scooped the pot without showdown to jump up over 40,000 chips.
