Maeda Claims Pot with Rivered Top Pair
Level 35
: 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
After David Coleman checked the stacks of the players to act after him, he decided to raise to 1,000,000 on the button with 8♠8♦. Akinobu Maeda opted to defend his big blind with K♥8♥.
Maeda check-called Coleman's 500,000 bet on the 3♦9♦3♣ flop.
The turn brought the A♥, and Maeda checked again. Coleman continued with a 750,000 bet, and Maeda called after some deliberation.
The K♦ on the river gave Maeda top pair, but he chose to check. Coleman also checked, visibly displeased with the outcome as the pot went to Maeda.
