Show Me Yours and I'll Show You Mine

[user46392]

Robin Keston made it 17,000, called by Brian Townsend and big blind Scott Fischman. Keston bet 20,000 on the {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

{K-Clubs}

{J-Spades}

flop and Townsend folded but Fischman check-called.

When they both checked the {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

turn and

{7-Spades}

river, it was time for a showdown, but Fischman didn't want to show -- he thought that because it was Keston who had bet last, it should be him who had to show. However, as he was in the small blind position and there had been no aggressive action on the river it was in fact Fischman's duty to turn his cards over, and he had nothing to worry about as his {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

was very much ahead of Keston's {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{Q-Hearts}

.
