Give Me a Deuce!

Stud

Nick Schulman has just found a much needed double up at the hands of Michael Watson. After fourth street was checked, Schulman fired a bet on fifth street, and Watson raised. Schulman committed his last chips and Watson made the call. Their boards were as follows:

Schulman: ({10-Spades}{8-Spades}) {10-Clubs}{2-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Watson: ({J-Clubs}{3-Clubs}) {8-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{J-Spades}

Watson held the lead, and that didn't change when Watson picked up the {A-Spades} and Schulman the {9-Diamonds} on sixth street.

On the river Schulman squeezed his card and when it revealed "no sides", he knew what he needed to catch.

"Give me a deuce!" exclaimed Schulman...and, ding, he rolled over the {2-Diamonds} to make two pair.

That left Watson needing to improve but he couldn't do it as he flipped the {6-Hearts} on the river. Schulman doubles to 31,000 with Watson down to 52,000.
