Sturm's Two Pair is Best
Level 5
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Leon Sturm raised from early position to 8,500, which was call by Sam Greenwood in the cutoff, and the big blind Alex Foxen.
The flop came 7♥J♣7♠ and all three players checked to the 9♠ on the turn. Foxen then bet out 24,000, which Sturm called, and Greenwood folded.
After the K♣ on the river, Foxen sized down to 12,000, and Sturm made the call. Foxen tabled A♣J♠ for two pair, jacks and sevens, but Sturm had the winner when he turned over J♥9♥ for two pair, jacks and nines.
