Nearly Shaked the Sheik

Shawn Sheikhan raised to 700 from early position and was called by Andrew Teng and the big blind. The flop came down {J-Spades} {8-Spades} {10-Clubs} 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} {Q-Spades} to Teng's {Q-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}.
