Thornton Takes From Shoreman
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
John Thornton raised to 1,600 from middle position and was called by Jon Shoreman and a player in the big blind.
The flop fell 9♣3♠4♥. Thornton fired again for 2,300. Shoreman called and the big blind folded.
The turn was the 5♦ and Thornton bet a third time. Again, Shoreman called.
The 10♣ came on the river and was checked by both players. Thornton turned over K♠9♠ and Shoreman mucked.
As he stacked his chips, Thornton asked, "Can you say 'Hi Honey — on the blog — to my wife?" Consider it done.
