Neil Davidson Gets a Discount

With a pot of 7,500 already in the middle across board K♦ 2♥ 9♠ J♦ , action was caught on Lawrence Pashak with a bet of 5,000. Neil Davidson check called on the small blind, and went on to check river 9♥ once more to his opponent.
Pashak put out 6,000 in chips while saying 'take it all' with the intent of going all-in. Floor ruled for only a 6,000 bet, and Davidson paid the price with K♣ Q♥ . Pashak showed a boat J♥ J♣ and raked in the pot along with a lesson to boot.
