Level 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Larson checked and Sodoma made a continuation-bet of 4,000. Larson called. Both players then checked the turn and river to take the hand to showdown.

Sodoma turned over immediately upon Larson's checking back and pointed to his three to signify the pair he had. Larson sent his cards to the muck and Sodoma took down the pot.
