Ryan Olisar (small blind) and SHRP Team member Michael Laake (big blind) were heads up on the turn of a 7s2s2dJd board. Laake was leading the betting, and he put out 1,400 into a pot of about 3,000. Olisar check-raised to 4,200, and Laake called. The river was the Th, and Olisar moved all in with the covering stack. Laake snap-called, putting himself all in for 15,300.

Olisar tabled Qh2h for trip deuces, but Laake showed 7c2c to win the pot with deuces full. He doubled up.

Michael Laake – 42,000 (70 bb)
Ryan Olisar – 6,100 (10 bb)
