. The board ran {K-Spades}

to give Tran a nut flush and a very healthy pot that puts him up to 55,000.

Nearly Shaked the Sheik

MarcC

Shawn Sheikhan raised to 700 from early position and was called by Andrew Teng and the big blind. The flop came down {J-Spades}

and it was checked to Teng who bet 1,200. The BB folded but Sheikhan made the call.

The turn {9-Diamonds}

saw both players checked through to the {6-Clubs}

river. Sheikhan lead out this time for 2,300 and after a long think Teng raised it up to 5,400. "Really?" asked Sheikhan "You really have king-queen?"

He made the call though and it was a split pot with Sheikhan tabling {A-Diamonds}

to Teng's
