Shimizu Has Reason to Shimmy
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Nozomu Shimizu held a few chips back preflop, as he wanted to stay alive in the tournament if the were not to his liking. Noah Schwartz made the call.
After the flop hit 3♠J♥2♦ Shimizu flipped in the three holdovers, and again Schwartz called.
Nozomu Shimizu: Q♥Q♦
Noah Schwartz: A♦K♥
The turn and river J♠7♥ didn't deliver either overpair Schwartz needed to eliminate Shimizu, who did a little dance in his chair to celebrate his double-up.
