"Let's Dance": Kravets, Shell Play a Million-Chip Flip
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Boris Kravets raised to 22,000 in middle position and Justin Arnwine called in the hijack. Dwight Shell then three-bet to 115,000 in the small bilnd, and Kravets moved all in. Arnwine quickly folded. "Let's dance," Shell said as he called.
Dwight Shell: A♥Q♠
Boris Kravets: J♣J♠
It was a massive flip as the two players had around the same stacks. The board ran out K♠8♦2♥5♣10♣, and Kravets' jacks stayed in the lead to earn him the pot.
"It's close," Nicholas Verderamo said, and Kravets' stack was counted as 474,000. Shell's stack was then counted, and he had the exact same 474,000.
"I said it was close. I didn't think it was that close," Verderamo said as Shell was sent to the rail.
