Kanaan Shoves his Way to a Win
Level 21
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Sheldon Mayer opened to 50,000 from the cutoff and was called by Graham Cowan in the small blind and Michael Kanaan in the big blind.
The flop came 5♠3♥J♠ and it was checked to Mayer, who continued for 35,000. Cowan then check-raised to 110,000 and, not to be outdone, Kanaan announced he was all in for 595,000 total.
Mayer went deep into the tank, but eventually opted to lay his hand down and Cowan quickly followed suit to award the pot to Kanaan uncontested.
At another table, Tom McMahon was eliminated.
