The Price is Too Good to Fold

Shayne Matyjas raises to 8,000 from under the gun and recieves three callers before we see the flop...

{10-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}

It's checked to Steve Shkolnik in the cutoff who bets 4,000. Shayne and Erick Lindgren call before the turn comes...

{5-Diamonds}

It's checked around to Steve again who fires 8,000 into the pot. Shayne calls but Erick bails out. The river comes...

{3-Hearts}

Once again it's checked to Steve who fires 8,000 once more. By the look on Shayne's face, he knows he's beat but the price is too good to fold so he calls with {K-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}. It's no good against the turned flush of Steve holding {K-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}.
