After the Count, Shaffer Gets a Notch

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Brett Shaffer raised to 2,200 in middle position and the player on his left three-bet to 4,900. It folded back to Shaffer who thought for about a minute before moving all in. His opponent wasted no time in calling and the hands were turned face up.

Shaffer: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

The board ran out {3-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Spades}{9-Clubs} and Shaffer's King's held. The two chip stacks were nearly identical but Shaffer's 33,000 edged out the 32,000 and change of his opponent and Shaffer earns a 72,000 stack and a notch on his belt.
