Shaffer Doubles, Varano in Trouble

Action folded to Paul Varano who opened to 50,000 from the cutoff. Derric Haynie folded his button, Dustin Dirksen surrendered his small blind and Brett Shaffer moved all in from the big.

Varano asked for a count and after the dealer cut it down, she told him it was 444,000 more. Varano thought for a second then called.

Showdown
Varano: {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}
Shaffer: {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}

Shaffer grabbed his bag and stood up out of his chair as the dealer flopped {9-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}. He paused, noticing he was now in the lead. He began to sit back down as the {4-Clubs} turned and by the time the {9-Clubs} had rivered he was back in his seat pulling in his newfound chips.

Shaffer more than doubled to 895,000 chips and Varano is in trouble with just 251,000.
