Shortway Getting Shorter

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

From early position, the first player into the pot made it 2,200 and received two callers behind him, including Rob Shortway, before the button raised to 10,400. The small blind folded and the big blind, Eddie Ochana, moved all in for 13,400. The initial raiser called, as did Shortway and the three-bettor.

The flop came {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} and the first player with action left checked before Shortway bet 30,000. The player on the button tank-folded, as did the final player with action.

Shortway: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts}
Ochana: {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

The turn was the {3-Clubs} and gave Ochana the flush. He still had to dodge a King or Queen, however, that would fill up Shortway. It bricked with the {5-Spades} and Ochana quadruples up to 55,000 as we near the bubble.
