Shoesmith's Top Pair is Good
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
The under-the-gun player raised to 1,100 and Linn Shoesmith called in the hijack before Jason Koon came along in the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of K♦4♠2♣ and Koon checked to the preflop raiser who continued for 1,000. Shoesmith made the call and Koon check-raised to 3,400. Only Shoesmith called.
The J♥ fell on the turn and Koon checked it over to Shoesmith as he bet 2,600. Koon called.
The 6♥ river was checked by both players and Koon said, "I think you win," as he tabled A♠J♠. Shoesmith showed K♣9♣ for top pair and dragged the pot.
