Maeda Doubles Up Against Coleman with Top Pair
Level 34
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
David Coleman, on the button, asked Konstantyn Holskyi in the big blind how many chips he had left after checking his own cards. Once Holskyi counted and informed him, Coleman went all in, covering the remaining players. Holskyi folded, but Akinobu Maeda quickly glanced at his cards and decided to call all in with 3,700,000.
Akinobu Maeda: A♣Q♥
David Coleman: 9♠3♠
Coleman needed significant help from the board. The flop came 8♣7♠2♥, offering no assistance.
The 10♦ on the turn gave Coleman a glimmer of hope with a straight draw.
However, the Q♦ on the river gave Maeda top pair, securing his double-up.
