Schoonover Getting Mowed Over

Matt Graham
Matt Graham

Matt Graham raised in early position to 7,000the table then folded around to Joshua Schoonover, who made the call. Both players checked on a {Q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{K-Hearts} flop. It wasn't until the {J-Clubs} turn that someone put out a bet. That person was Schoonover placing 7,000 in chips in the middle waiting for a call. Graham obliged and put his very own 7,000 in to match.

When the {2-Spades} hit on the river again Schoonover put out a bet, this time 15,000. Graham was apprehensive, but eventually made the call.

Schoonover flipped over {A-Spades}{3-Spades} for ace high, and Graham countered with {Q-Spades}{9-Spades} for a pair of queens.
