Emery Shoves with Cowboys
Level 13
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
The player in late position opened to 12,000 and was then immediately three-bet to 28,000 by Shaun Emery in the cutoff. The button got out of the way and then Doug Paxton in the small blind put in the four-bet to 57,000. Action got back to the original raiser who moved all in for slightly more, but then Emery jammed over the top, covering Paxton who went into the tank.
After thinking about it for around 30 seconds, he decided to let it go and the other two tabled their cards.
Late Position: 2♦2♥
Shaun Emery: K♠K♣
The board runs out 5♣6♦5♦8♦J♥ for Emery's kings to hold and he was awarded the substantial pot, while his opponent made his exit.
"Nice hand, sir, I threw away ace-king there," Paxton said as he gave Emery a fist-bump.
