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.
