button in SafariShamo Scores the Double Up
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Randy Shamo clashed with an opponent on the button in an all-in pot preflop with Shamo at risk for 17,000 total.
Randy Shamo: K♠9♣
Opponent: K♥8♥
Shamo got his chips in good, as he had his opponent outpipped with the slightly better king as they went to a runout.
The Q♠6♠Q♣ flop was of no threat to Shamo, but it did introduce chop outs from then on out.
Shamo stayed ahead on the 4♦ turn, and the J♥ river was not enough to create a chop as Shamo received the full double.
