Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Kyle Shigano opened to 30,000 and the player next to him reraised to 80,000. It folded back to Shigano who ended up calling after some thought.

The flop showed 3♥Q♥J♣ and Shigano check-called his opponent's continuation bet for 75,000.

When the 10♥ landed on the turn, Shigano decided to move a pile of 5,000-chip in front of him for a bet around 130,000, and with 100,000 left behind. His opponent considered it for a minute and eventually folded.
