Shoesmith's Top Pair is Good

Livello 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.

Li Takes an Unorthodox Line

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Action was opened by Yingui Li in late position who bet 2,000. The button then three-bet to 6,500. Li called.

The Q♠J♠3♠ flop landed and without thinking for more than a few seconds Li led for 8,000. The preflop three-bettor thought for a moment and made the call.

The turn brought in a fourth spade with the 8♠. This time Li opted to slow down and check. The button thought it over but checked behind.

The 4♦ river landed and now Li put his foot back on the gas and led for 13,500. The button snap folded but Li would say later that he turned the nuts and played it tricky.

Roman Kagan: A♥A♣
Greg Raymer: A♦K♣

The dealer spread out an inconsequential 7♣7♠4♥2♦J♥ and Kagan pulled in the pot.
