Level 37 : Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante

William Shaw limped in the small blind with 7♥6♥ and John Malczan checked his option in the big blind with 9♦2♦

The 9♣5♥3♠ flop gave Shaw a double gutter and backdoor flush draw while Malczan made top pair. Shaw led for 2,000,000 before Malczan raised to 6,000,000. Shaw quickly shoved for 24,000,000 effective as the covering stack, and Malczan elected to fold after two minutes, folding the current winner as Shaw's semi-bluff got through.

William Shaw raised to 13,000,000 with 12,000,000 behind for an effective all in from the small blind with 4♥4♦. In the big blind, John Malczan took some time before he folded A♠7♣.

The next hand, Shaw opened to 4,000,000 on the button before Yuriy Kudrynskyy jammed as the covering stack from the big blind, and Shaw called off his 28,000,000 stack.

William Shaw: A♠J♥ All in
Yuriy Kudrynskyy: 4♥4♦

It was a coinflip scenario as the K♠Q♦9♠ flop gave Shaw a gutshot straight draw to go along with his overs. The 9♥ turn added even more counterfeit outs.

The Q♣ would land on the river, counterfeiting Kudrynskyy pair as he now played the board. It took a moment to realize for Shaw, but his ace-high was the winning hand and he collected the full double.
