Szczur Flops Top Two For An Early Double

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante
Joshua Szczur
Joshua Szczur

A four-way single-raised pot brought a flop of {6-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} and Stephen Shanks continuation-bet 700 after the small blind checked to him. The cutoff folded to put action onto Joshua Szczur, who was on the button and raised to 2,300.

The small blind called and then Shanks three-bet to 8,700. Szczur quickly four-bet shoved for 17,800, folding out the small blind before Shanks dropped in a stack to call.

Joshua Szczur: {j-Spades}{9-Spades}
Stephan Shanks: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

Szczur was firmly ahead and faded any potential danger as the turn {5-Clubs} and river {4-Spades} completed the runout to earn him the double.
