Deuces Good For Both Players

Although a pair of two’s is rarely the best hand in No Limit Hold’em once a hand gets to the river, they have been good in two consecutive hands.

The first saw Miha Travnik raise to 60,000 on the button and Vincenzo Natale call. The flop came down [Jh2c7h] and Natale check-called a bet of 75,000. The turn saw the [Ac] make an appearance and Natale check-called a bigger bet of 160,000. The river was the [8s] and both players checked and Natale took the pot when he showed [6c2h].

The next hand Natale raised to 76,000 and Travnik called.The flop of [6s4c7s] was checked by both players. The turn saw the [Ts] come into play and this time Travnik checked and then called Natale’s bet of 125,000. Both players checked the [Jh] on the river and the Slovenian won with [2c2s]
