Shahni Flops a Flush
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Defending WSOP main event champion Epsen Jorstad opened to 2,200 from the hijack and received calls from Ali Shahni on the button and Christopher Maguire in the big blind.
The flop came 2♣7♣10♣. Maguire checked, Jorstad checked and Shahni bet 2,200, receiving a call from Maguire while folding out Jorstad.
Both players checked the 5♣ turn.
Maguire fired a small 2,200 bet on the Q♠ river. Shahni thought about his decision for about 30 seconds before making the call.
Maguire tabled 2♦2♠ for a flopped set while Shahni showed J♣9♣ for a flopped flush to take the pot down.
