Shinzaki Doubles

Michael Shinzaki has just doubled through Angie Fitzgerald to move up to 85,000.

Preflop Fitzgerald made it 5,000 and Shinzaki flat called out of the small blind.

The flop came {7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and Shinzaki checked to Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald picked up 10,000 chips in her hand and then added a 1,000 chip to bet 11,000. Shinzaki thought for a little while before moving all in over the top for around 38,000.

It was now Fitzgerald's turn in the tank and she eventually made the call tabling {A-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}. Upon seeing Shinzaki's {K-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} Fitzgerald called, "Come on two diamonds or an ace, no pressure dealer".

The dealer wouldn't oblige turning the {6-Clubs} and putting the {6-Diamonds} out on the river.

Shinzaki moves through to 85,000. Fitzgerald was down to 3,800 and eliminated a few short hands later.
