Shortway Crippled

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

After a raise by Josh Evans from the button and a call by Robert Shortway from the big blind, the players saw a board of {5-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}. Shortway led out only to be raised by Evans. Shortway quickly announced that he was all in for a whopping 3,320,000 more. Shortway actually had a bit more than Evans, so this pot was for Evans' tournament life.

Evans announced a call but was behind the two pair of Shortway's {7-Spades}{5-Hearts}. Evan's tabled {Q-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} and needed help.

The turn came {4-Clubs} and proved no help to Evans. However, the river fell {4-Hearts}, pairing the board and making Evan's jacks and fours the best hand. Evans doubled up to over 6,500,000 and Shortway has been crippled, sitting around 100,000.
