Shen Eliminates Wazwaz

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante
Li Shen
Li Shen

A player in middle position opened to 2,100 and was called by Steve Wazwaz, who was in the hijack. Li Shen was on the button and also called, as did the big blind, and the four saw the flop come {10-Spades}{q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}.

The big blind and original raiser both checked to Wazwaz, who put out a bet of 7,200. Shen pumped it up to 20,000 to get two folds and put action back on Wazwaz, who went all in for not much more. Shen called.

"Do you have two pair?" asked Wazwaz as he tabled {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}.

Shen confirmed he did, showing {q-Spades}{10-Hearts}.

"Every time!" said Wazwaz, in need of improving to stay alive. The turn came {6-Hearts} to cut his number of chances in half, and the river {a-Hearts} did not bring him any justice. He shook the hand of tablemate Saad Ghanem and congratulated Shen on a nice hand as he left the tournament area for the evening.
