Schoenberg Rivers Corkins

Hoyt Corkins
Hoyt Corkins
Four community cards were already on the board in a pot contested between Hoyt Corkins and Erica Schoenberg. They were {3-Hearts} {A-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds}. Corkins confidently bet four orange (5,000) chips and Schoenberg called. The river fell {Q-Spades}. Corkins moved a full stack of purple (1,000) chips and a full stack of blue (500) chips into the middle, a bet of 30,000. Schoenberg eyeballed Corkins' stack, asked if he had any oranges other than the one at the bottom of a mixed stack of chips, then called.

"Two pair," said Corkins as he showed {A-Clubs} {4-Spades}. Schoenberg also had two pair, {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}. She made top pair on the flop and a flush draw on the turn. Her aces and queens took down the pot and improved her chip count to 184,000. Corkins has about 55,000.
