Shannon Shorr - Runner Up

Hand #161 - Matt Keikoan

Shannon Shorr has the button in seat 3 and he moves all in. Matt Keikoan calls. The players show:

Shorr: {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{6-Hearts}

Keikoan:

{K-Spades}

{5-Spades}

The crowd is on their feet as the flop comes {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{7-Clubs}

{7-Diamonds}

. Shannon Shorr will need serious help if he is to come from behind and avoid elimination.

Without the normal "delay for delay's sake," the dealer puts the {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

on the turn. It's all over. Matt Keimoan has won his first bracelet. The {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

on the river was a mere formality. Shorr congratulated the champion and then received heartfelt consolation from his legion of supporters.

Shannon Shorr falls painfully short of his for WSOP bracelet but will leave with $349,141 to show for his outstanding efforts.
