Top Set For Shannon Elizabeth

Shannon Elizabeth
Shannon Elizabeth

It wasn't long ago that we were reporting that Shannon Elizabeth was on the short stack. Well, look at her now, she's flying with 38,000, largely thanks to a recent pot where she virtually doubled up.

It was a battle of the blinds and we caught it on a {Q-Spades}{3-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop. Elizabeth fired 6,000 into the healthy pot and her opponent tanked for a long time before calling. The turn was a {6-Spades} to put three spades on board which slowed Elizabeth to check it over to her opponent who fired the same amount, 6,000. Elizabeth quickly called, leaving herself just a few thousand in change behind.

The river was the {J-Hearts} and Elizabeth checked again. Her opponent eyed her stack before reluctantly checking behind. Elizabeth showed {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} for top set which was good as he opponent mucked.
