Aaron Shapiro
Aaron Shapiro

Abel Gebeyehu opened to 9,000 before Aaron Shapiro three-bet to 30,000 on his left. Louis Lu made the call, and Joseph Grodowski slid out a four-bet to 87,000.

Gebeyehu folded, while Shapiro moved all in for 121,000. Lu took some time before sliding in a call, and Grodowski moved his covering stack all in.

Lu took some more time before folding, leaving Shapiro at risk heads up.

Aaron Shapiro: AA All in
Joseph Grodowski: QQ

Lu indicated to the table that he folded pocket jacks, watching as the 931010A runout saw Shapiro improve to a full house to claim the pot.
