Conniff Wins American Showdown
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Asher Conniff, Tom Middleton, and Byron Kaverman were three-way to a flop of J♠6♥4♠. The action checked to Kaverman on the button, who made a bet of 16,000. Conniff, in the big blind, then raised to 50,000 and Middleton quickly folded in the hijack and Kaverman called.
Conniff threw in another 70,000 on the 8♦ turn, getting called by his fellow countryman for a second time.
They went on to check down the 5♥ river. Conniff confidently showed 6♦5♣ and won the pot with his rivered two pair.
"That was a hand," Kaverman concluded, as he surrendered the pot to Conniff.
