Blown Bluff Turns To Gold For Shinzaki

A blown play by Michael Shinzaki has paid dividends after hitting the river to haul the pot.

Shinzaki went heads up to the {3-Clubs}{7-Spades}{10-Hearts} flop and Shinzaki's opponent led 2,700. Shinzaki asked for a count on his opponent before shoving all in with {5-Clubs}{6-Clubs}. The opponent made the call for his final 20,000 in chips with {9-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and was looking good to the double up.

The turn was the {6-Hearts}, however the river {4-Diamonds} spiked the gutshot straight for Shinzaki.

Shinzaki moves up to 65,000 with the pot.
