Sheikhan Slips

Shawn Sheikhan opened with a raise to 250, and found three callers including Benjamin Kang.

The flop fell down {Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{9-Spades}, and the action was checked round to the player in the cutoff who led out with a 1,500-chip bet.

Sheikhan called while both the remaining players, including Kang, folded to see the {7-Spades} fall on the turn and a check from Sheikhan follow.

Now met with a 3,000-chip bet, Sheikhan made the call before check-folding when the {Q-Diamonds} fell on the river followed by a 7,000-chip bet by his opponent.

After chipping up early, Sheikhan has now slipped to 22,500 in chips.
