James Shouey
James Shouey

The hand began witih a limp by James Shouey from early position. It was raised to 1,000 from two seats over, which led to a call from an opponent out of the big blind. Shouey came along with a call to create a three-handed pot preflop.

The 377 flop led to a pair of checks before the original raiser continued for 2,000. Both the small blind and Shouey made the call.

It checked again to the original raiser before they fired a second barrel for 2,000. The small blind folded, but Shouey stuck around with a call.

Shouey checked the 6 river, but the original raiser was done putting more chips in the pot as they also checked to go to a showdown.

The original raiser tabled 88 for two pair, but it was no good, as Shouey tabled 54 for a rivered straight to claim the pot.
