Pittard Runs Into Shorr's Aces; Lonis Puts in a Massive Shove on Albrinck
With around 60,000 in the pot on a board of 5♦4♥2♠, Shannon Shorr bet 14,000 from the button and Jeremy Ausmus called in middle position, as did Melanie Pittard in the cutoff.
Action checked to Shorr again on the 6♥ turn, and he bet another 14,000. Ausmus folded this time, but Pittard moved all in for 31,000 and Shorr snap-called.
Pittard showed 8♣8♠, but Shorr had A♠A♥ and scored the knockout once the 6♣ completed the board on the river.
At the same time on another table, a big pot was brewing between Brad Albrinck and Jesse Lonis as they went to the turn on a board of 5♦10♣A♥K♥. Lonis then bet 60,000 from the cutoff, and Albrinck called in early position.
The river was the 2♣ and Lonis moved all in. Albrinck had around 220,000 remaining and tanked for a few minutes before folding.
"Ten of diamonds!" Matthew Salsberg said to Lonis as the rest of the table implored him to show, but Lonis simply flashed a smile and returned his cards face down.
