Shaniac Doubles Up

Shane Schleger
Shane Schleger

Shane Schleger and another player at his table got it all in preflop for virtually identical stacks. Schleger showed {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and his opponent showed {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}. The player started calling for payouts and getting up from the table, assuming he was covered and wouldn't hit. He was right about not hitting as the board came down {j-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}, but he had about 3,000 left after they counted it all out.

Either way, Schleger moves up to about 115,000 and is well above average
