Dempsey’s Two Pair not Good Enough

Level 6: 400/800 (800)
Entries: 230/290

Cornelis Vrugdenhill checked the 5 A Q flop before Shane Dempsey fired out for 4,200 into a pot of around 7,000. Vrugdenhill raised to 12,500 and Dempsey went into the tank before he jammed for around 45,000. Vrugdenhill snap-called and the cards were turned over.

Shane Dempsey: A 5
Cornelis Vrugdenhill: A Q

Both players had two pair but Dempsey was already out of his chair as he needed one of the two remaining fives to get ahead of Vrugdenhill’s better two pair. Neither the J turn nor the 6 river assisted Dempsey in getting ahead and he was on the rail.

Cornelis Vrugdenhill – 125,000
Shane Dempsey – 0
