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 
flop, and Wikberg bet 1,000 on the 
turn. Both Stevens and the early position player called.
All three players quickly checked the 
river, and Wikberg announced, "Two pair," but everyone was reluctant to show. The early position player mucked after Wikberg showed 
, but Stevens turned up 
for jacks up and the win.
"The two pair trick...never works," deadpanned a player at the table.
