Stevens' Two Pair Holds Up

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

A player raised to 800 from early position, and was called by Kyle Wikberg in the small blind, as well as Mark Stevens in the big blind.

Action checked through the {10-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{10-Spades} flop, and Wikberg bet 1,000 on the {4-Spades} turn. Both Stevens and the early position player called.

All three players quickly checked the {8-Hearts} river, and Wikberg announced, "Two pair," but everyone was reluctant to show. The early position player mucked after Wikberg showed {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}, but Stevens turned up {j-Clubs}{9-Spades} for jacks up and the win.

"The two pair trick...never works," deadpanned a player at the table.
