Conoran Chips Up
Level 28
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
With around 700,000 already in the pot, Michael Conoran checked from middle position on a board of 9♦10♥9♥6♠, and Terrance Reid bet 300,000 from the cutoff. Conoran check-called.
The 2♥ completed the board, and Conoran checked again. Reid, seated directly to Conoran's left, checked behind. Conoran tabled K♠K♣ for an overpair to win the pot.
A few hands later, Jason Kornegay raised from early position, and Conoran defended from the big blind.
The flop came 9♣3♥4♠, and Conoran checked. Kornegay bet 310,000, which Conoran called.
The 4♣ paired the board on the turn, and Conoran led out for 630,000. Kornegay quickly folded AxKx, sending another pot Conoran's way.
