Shumsky Hits a Miracle on the River
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
A player in the small blind three-bet to 9,000 before Michael Shumsky four-bet to 25,000 under the gun. The small blind then moved all in, and Shumsky called for 56,200.
Michael Shumsky: K♠K♣
Opponent: A♥A♣
Shumsky had run his kings right into his opponent's aces and was headed to the rail as the board came 5♠8♦2♥10♥, but he caught the K♦ on the river to make a set and earn the miraculous double up.
"That's the way it goes," the small blind sighed as he handed over the pot.
