Gongola Prevails over Shapouri
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Venkata Gongola raised to 3,500 and was called by three players before Bijan Shapouri chose to clean house with a re-raise to 18,500 from the big blind. Gongola was the only taker, which sent Shapouri and Gongola to a flop heads-up.
Both players checked the 9♥4♦Q♣ flop.
The 2♥ turn resulted in a large bet of 43,000 from Shapouri. Gongola put out a stack of 5,000 chips, but it was not enough for a raise, so Gongola was held to a call as Shapouri had 19,400 behind as they went to the river.
Shapouri checked on the 6♠ river. Gongola went all in, and Shapouri quickly folded to award the pot to Gongola.
