Shoesmith's Top Pair is Good
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
The under-the-gun player raised to 1,100 and Linn Shoesmith called in the hijack before Jason Koon came along in the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of K?4?2? and Koon checked to the preflop raiser who continued for 1,000. Shoesmith made the call and Koon check-raised to 3,400. Only Shoesmith called.
The J? fell on the turn and Koon checked it over to Shoesmith as he bet 2,600. Koon called.
The 6? river was checked by both players and Koon said, "I think you win," as he tabled A?J?. Shoesmith showed K?9? for top pair and dragged the pot.
