Twooo Pairrr God Enough for Shebell
Darren Shebell: /
Richard Ashby: (XXX) /
Darren Shebell brought in and was the sole caller when Richard Ashby completed. Both players checked on fourth street, but Shebell, first to act with a pair of nines, bet out on fifth. Ashby made the call and they reverted to checking on sixth and again on seventh.
"Twoooo-pairrr," said Shebell in a singsong voice, flipping a second three for, as he said, two pair, nines and threes. It was enough and Ashby just mucked, dropping to 215,000. Shebell, who'd lost small pots to Sorel Mizzi and Christine Pietsch in the preceding few hands, moved back up to 480,000.
