A middle position player made it 5,000 to go and Shawn "Sheiky" Sheikhan raised 12,500 on top from the small blind. His opponent moved all-in for 30,000 total and Sheikhan was visibly upset over his decision. Sheikhan eventually made the call, and both players stood pat. Sheikhan turned over a 9 low and his opponent showed a 10 low. Sheikhan yelled in excitement, "THAT'S HOW REAL (EXPLETIVE DELETED) DO IT!" Sheikhan is up to 115,000 after the hand.
