Shorr Ships Out, Stammen Nearly Triples

Action folded to Shannon Shorr in middle position, and he shoved his short stack of 950 into the middle. It folded around to Keven Stammen in the cutoff, and he shoved over the top for 2,300. Faraz Jaka was next to act, and he made the call, having both easily covered. The blinds folded, and the three players revealed their cards.

Shorr: {a-Spades}{4-Spades}
Stammen: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Jaka: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Stammen was in great shape to win the pot, while Shorr would need a miracle to survive. The flop came down {9-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts}, and Shorr had a small glimmer of hope. The turn brought the {6-Hearts}, and Stammen stayed well out in front. It stayed that way on the river, the {6-Clubs}, and Shorr was sent to the rail. Stammen moved up to 5700, while Jaka dropped to that amount as well.
