Shannon Shorr Has 120,000
Shannon Shorr Has 120,000

We caught the action on the river between Shannon Shorr and his opponent who was out of position. The board read {q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and there was already about 55,000 chips in the pot.

The player out of position had 23,000 behind and checked to Shorr, who had his opponent covered. Shorr bet enough to put his opponent all in and after some thought, the player called. Shorr immediately announced he had a strait and flipped over {6-Spades}{4-Spades}. The player stood up in anger and eventually showed {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} before leaving his seat for good and hitting the rail.

With that pot Shorr has crossed six-figures, holding 120,000 chips.
