Cannon Chops with Shin

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Byungeun Shin was in an early position and in a huge pot with Michael Cannon, who was sitting in the small blind. The pair were already on the 985 flop with a pot of around 20,000.

Cannon checked Shin bet 6,000 and Cannon made the call to see the 8 turn.

Cannon checked, Shin opted to jam for his remaining 25,000, and Cannon called for his tournament life, sitting just short of Shin.

Michael Cannon: KKAll in
Byungeun Shin: KK

The pair were destined for a chop once the cards were flipped, with no way of differentiating their pocket kings, so the river was irrelevant.
