Shifter Goes Big on the River

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Rod Shifter
Rod Shifter

With a massive 225,000 pot in the middle on the river of a {3-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} board, Sean Byars checked from the big blind, and Rod Shifter thought it over for a few moments, then moved all in for 260,000 from early position.

The shove from Shifter sent Byars deep into the tank. After several minutes of contemplation, Byars folded, and Shifter showed pocket sevens.

A discussion ensued about whether those sevens were the best hand, with Byars keeping that information to himself.

Flieder Gets Two Streets

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The under-the-gun player opened to 12,000, Jeremy Flieder called in middle position, and both the hijack and big blind also called.

Action checked to Flieder on the {5-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{k-Hearts} flop, Flieder bet 16,000, and only the under-the-gun player called.

Both remaining players checked the {q-Diamonds} turn. Facing a check, Flieder bet 25,000 on the {a-Spades} river, and got the call. Flieder showed {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}, good for a flopped top pair that improved to a river straight.
