Level 12
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Aleksejs Ponakovs opened to 60,000 from the hijack before Alexandre Reard three-bet to 200,000 from the cutoff. Shannon Shorr was on the button and jammed for 595,000. Ponakovs got out of the way ahead of Reard snap-calling.
Shannon Shorr: A♠Q♣
Alexandre Reard: A♦K♣
Shorr made queens and jacks on the Q♦J♦J♣ flop to reverse his domination. Reard whiffed the 8♥ turn and 8♠ river to double up January's GPI Player of the Month.
On the next deal, Shorr opened to 60,000. Mustapha Kanit put in his last 25,000 on his immediate left and then the blinds got out of the way.
Mustapha Kanit: A♥7♥
Shannon Shorr: Q♦9♣
Kanit made the nut flush on the J♥6♥3♥ flop to lock up the pot and boost his stack over 100,000 chips.
