Shen Finds a Ten to Survive
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Chad Brewer shoved all in for his last 50,000 from early position and Allen Shen reshoved all in for 157,000 in the cutoff. Paul Cross woke up with a hand in the big blind and called to put both players at risk.
Chad Brewer: 9♥9♦
Allen Shen: 10♣10♦
Paul Cross: J♠J♥
All three players picked up a pocket pair but it was Cross who was well out front. However, the 10♥6♠4♦ flop put Shen in the lead with a set of tens. The 6♦ and 4♣ runout changed nothing and Shen more than doubled up while Brewer was eliminated.
