Shane Schleger Doubles Up

We caught up to this hand on the flop. With the board reading {J-Spades}{8-Spades}{3-Clubs}, Shane Schleger had all his chips in the center, holding {5-Spades}{5-Clubs} against the {10-Spades}{9-Spades} of his opponent. The turn was perfect for "Shaniac," coming the {5-Diamonds}. The {9-Hearts} on the river missed his opponent's open-ended straight-flush draw and Schleger doubled up to 8,600 chips.
