An Unpleasant Shorr

Shannon Shorr was in the small blind and up against one opponent on the button. The board read {9-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{A-Clubs} when the action picked up.

Shorr checked the river and his opponent bet 3,500. Shorr raised to 12,000 and his opponent moved all in for 20,000 total. Shorr didn't hesitate in calling.

Shorr showed the {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds} for a full house, but his opponent tabled {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} for quad nines! Shorr is stunned and eliminated on a cooler of a hand.
