Shorr as You're Born

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

In late position, and first into the pot, Shannon Shorr pushes all in for 15,050. He gets one taker, the player on the button, who calls him down with {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

. Shorr is in nice shape to double with his {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

.

The flop comes down safe for Shorr: {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{8-Hearts}

{8-Spades}

. The turn card is a bit more troublesome though. The {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

pairs his opponent's kicker and puts Shorr at risk of elimination, needing to draw to a straight, a flush, or his king.

Salvation comes on the river when the {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

fills up that straight, and doubles Shorr up to approximately 31,000.
