Green Scoops With Top-Top

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

A player in middle position opened for a raise and got numerous callers, but only Larry Green called the continuation-bet on the {10-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop. The aggressor fired again on the {2-Diamonds} turn for 3,800 into a pot of about 15,000, and Green called once more. A {10-Diamonds} fell on the river, leading to two checks. Green showed {a-Spades}{q-Spades} for top pair on the flop, and his opponent showed {a-}{k-} for ace-high.
