Shaevel Gets There on the River

Action folded to Brian Yoon in the hijack and he raised to 63,000. A short-stacked Jamie Shaevel was next to act in the cutoff and simply moved all in for 120,000. The rest of the field cleared out and Yoon made the call.

Showdown
Yoon: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Shaevel: {K-Diamonds}{5-Spades}

The {Q-Spades}{5-Hearts}{10-Spades} flop was disaster for Shaevel as Yoon hit a set; however, the {J-Hearts} turn did give him an open-ended straight draw. Wouldn't you know it, the {9-Diamonds} river completed that draw and allowed Shaevel to double, though he is still extremely short.
