With around 80,000 already in the pot and the board reading 9♥9♣7♠10♠, Shenmolesky, in the big blind, led out with a bet of 30,000. Firestone on the button didn’t take long to call and the two went to the river.
The 6♦ completed the board, and Shenmolesky kept up the pressure with a sizable bet of 100,000. Firestone took a brief pause before coming over the top with a raise to 350,000. The pressure was too much, Shenmolesky quickly let it go.
