Wretchy Rivers Two Pair

Dan "Wretchy" Martin opened to 1,500 from the cutoff, Matt Affleck called on the button, and so too did Ryan Fair in the small blind. The flop came down {q-Spades}{a-Hearts}{3-Spades}, Fair checked, and Martin tossed out 3,000. Only Affleck called.

Both players checked the {9-Hearts} on the turn, and the river brought the {7-Diamonds}. Martin led for 6,500, and Affleck tank-called. Martin opened up {q-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for queens and sevens, and Affleck studied the board before angrily mucking his hand.
