Shimizu Leaves Sacksick on Fumes
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Nozomu Shimizu raised to 1,600 from under the gun and picked up three callers. David Sacksick was among them and bet 3,000 out of the small blind on the 10♥3♠2♥ flop. Shimizu called, as did Ali Bayrak in the cutoff. On the J♦ turn, Sacksick bet another 6,000 and this time it was only Shimizu who called.
On the 2♣ river, Sacksick bet 9,000 and Shimizu raised to 33,000. After a brief tank, Sacksick called for almost his entire stack. Shimizu rolled over the J♥J♠ for jacks full of deuces and Sacksick was depleted, flashing his cards briefly before tossing them to the muck.
