Shaffer Bests Platt
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
The pot stood at 40,000 with three players remaining in the hand.
On a board of 4♦9♣10♠ both Jeff Platt in the big blind and a player in early position checked the action to Brett Shaffer in the hijack. Shaffer bet out for 12,000 and both players called.
The 3♦ on the turn saw a repeat of the action, this time Shaffer betting 20,000 and only Platt continued.
The 8♥ on the river prompted Platt to check again. Shaffer bet one last time for 25,000 and Platt eventually folded.
