Jones Doubles Through Shaw

Kirk Brown

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

David Shaw opened to 15,000 and is called by Creighton Jones in the big blind to see a flop of 3♣K♣3♠.

Jones checked to Shaw who continued for 12,000, which Jones called.

On the turn 4♣, Jones decided to lead out for 13,000, but was then raised to 52,000 by Shaw. After some thought, Jones made the call and the two continued to the river 7♠.

Jones checked, Shaw moved all in, and Jones called, putting himself at risk.

Shaw then flipped over J♦6♦ for a jack-high while Jones showed K♠Q♣ for two pair of kings and threes to take down the big pot.

"Well boys and girls, that's how you punt off a tournament stack!" Shaw joked. "BURN IT! BURN IT ALL!"
