Davidson Can't Shake Top Pair and Pays the Price

[user75032]

Rodney Davidson, one of the players near the front of the pack, took a heads up flop of {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{5-Clubs}

{K-Diamonds}

. Acting first, he led out for 2,375 and was called. The turn was the {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

, and Davidson again fired, this time for 5,000. His bet brought the same result -- a call from his opponent. Davidson finally slowed down on the river {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

and checked. His opponent checked behind and showed {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{9-Spades}

. That was enough to beat Davidson's {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{8-Hearts}

. He slips to 36,000.
