Shortway Check-Calls to a Win

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Rob Shortway and Steven Merrifield saw a flop of {4-Hearts}{8-Spades}{3-Clubs} and Shortway checked the action. Merrifield fired out a bet of 80,000 and Shortway called.

The turn brought {9-Diamonds} and once again Shortway checked. Merrifield sent out another bet, this time making the magic number 170,000. Shortway called once again. The river brought {10-Diamonds} and Shortway checked for a third time. Merrifield pushed out a big bet of 340,000 and Shortway quickly called, tabling {9-Spades}{6-Spades}. Merrifield sent his cards into the muck and Shortway scooped a big pot.

Shortway is currently up to about 3,900,000 while Merrifield drops to about 1,400,000.
