Saving Grace

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Shorty shoved 14,200 early and another player came over the top all in. John Grace then decided he'd ship in his last 40,000-plus.

Shorty had the {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades} and was ready to leave when he saw one opponent's {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and Grace's {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}. The {k-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop was good one for grace, but the {6-Clubs} turn saved Shorty.

The {9-Spades} river made sure shorty took the main, but Grace got a sizable side pot and is now looking to bag big.
