Corkins Grins and Drags the Pot

Soheil Shamseddin was facing a difficult decision on the river against Hoyt Corkins. Corkins had either bet or raised Shamseddin -- either way it was one bet back to Shamseddin. His board of (X-X) / {3-Spades} {A-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} / (X) was up against Corkins' (X-X) / {10-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {J-Spades} / (X).

After about a minute of deliberation (unusually long for a fixed-limit event) Shamseddin called. Corkins opened {8-Clubs} {8-Spades} {K-Diamonds} for trip eights.

"What a laydown!" said Eli Elezra from across the table. "I had two pair." It seems likely that Shamseddin did also, but we'll never know -- he mucked.
