Over Pairs Collide
Level 24
: 7,000/14,000, 2,000 ante
Chris Schonbach opened for 33,000 under the gun and then called when Mike Massri three-bet to 83,000 from the button. The former then checked the 
flop and Massri took his time before betting 100,000, leaving himself just 117,000 behind. Those chips went in when Schonbach check-raised all in.
Schonbach: 
Massri: 
Both players held big pairs, but Massri's was best. Schonbach was unable to catch a nine as the 
peeled off on the turn followed by the 
on the river.
