.
Zoudo riffled his chips several times and opted to check. Shorr didn't take long to fire a modest 7,000 into the pot. It was enough, however, as Zoudo released his hand - conceding the pot to Shorr.

Giannetti Folds to Racener's Pressure
We caught up with the action on a 
board. Matthew Giannetti had a 12,000 bet in front of him and his lone opponent, John Racener, appeared to have moved all in for his last 35,000 from the hijack position.
Giannetti fell hard into the tank, but eventually slid his hand into the muck. Racener scooped the sizable pot and is now sitting on 81,000.
