Shimelfarb Doubles in Huge Pot
Level 12
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Gennady Shimelfarb opened for 4,000 in middle position, and a player three-bet to 12,000 in the cutoff. Shimelfarb made the call, and the two saw a 
flop. Shimelfarb check-called 8,000, and he checked the 
turn. The cutoff bet 15,000, and Shimelfarb made it 40,000. The cutoff called. Shimelfarb then pushed all in for 49,900 on the 
river, and the cutoff thought for a couple of minutes before verbalizing a call.
Shimelfarb tabled 
for kings full, and his opponent could only tell him that it was a nice hand indeed.
Players are now on a 10-minute break.
