Maeda Claims Pot with Rivered Top Pair
Level 35
: 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
After David Coleman checked the stacks of the players to act after him, he decided to raise to 1,000,000 on the button with 8?8?. Akinobu Maeda opted to defend his big blind with K?8?.
Maeda check-called Coleman's 500,000 bet on the 3?9?3? flop.
The turn brought the A?, and Maeda checked again. Coleman continued with a 750,000 bet, and Maeda called after some deliberation.
The K? on the river gave Maeda top pair, but he chose to check. Coleman also checked, visibly displeased with the outcome as the pot went to Maeda.
