Shaya Stays Alive With Fortunate Flop; Scalice Runs Into Jacks
Level 17
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Wissam Shaya moved all in for 39,000 in the big blind and Caleb Powell called in the small blind.
Wissam Shaya: Q♦J♣
Caleb Powell: 10♦6♦
Powell hit top pair on the 10♥8♥9♥ flop, but he was already drawing thin as Shaya flopped a straight. "Good time on that," another tablemate told Shaya. The rest of the board ran out K♦7♦, and Shaya doubled up.
At another table, Shannon Scalice had shoved for 120,000 on the button and Josh Adkins called in middle position.
Shannon Scalice: 5♦5♣
Josh Adkins: J♥J♣
Scalice was dominated going to the flop, then left drawing virtually dead as Adkins spiked top set on J♠8♣9♠. The rest of the board ran out K♠2♣, and Scalice was sent to the rail.
