Whalen Runs Into a Better Two Pair
Level 26
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Heads-up in a blind versus blind battle, Richard Wallace bet 60,000 on a flop of 4?Q?5? and small blind Robert Whalen called.
The turn came the 8? and Wallace moved all in for around 500,000. "You're going all in? Wow, wow," Whalen said before he eventually called.
Whalen turned over 5?4? for two pair, but Wallace had Q?5? for a higher two pair.
The river came the 6? and Wallace doubled up.
