Schiff's Top Pair is Good

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Emile Schiff was contesting a hand with Arsenii Karmatckii. On a board that read {8-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{5-Clubs} Schiff bet 20,000. Karmatchkii thought it over for a while before making the call.

The river was the {5-Diamonds}. Schiff fired a large bet of 50,000 which sent Karmatckii into the tank. After several moments of deliberation, he made the call.

Schiff showed the {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades} for top pair, which was good enough as Karmatckii mucked his cards and sent a decent portion of his stack across the table.
