Paukovitz Runs Into Overcards and Runs Out of Time
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
David Paukovitz had been hanging on as the short stack at the table, down to just 22,000. He was under the gun, took a quick look at his cards, and his expression said it all; it was now or never. He moved all in.
Joel Shackelford, sitting in middle position, three-bet to 62,000 to isolate, and everyone else got out of the way.
David Paukovitz: J♠J♥
Joel Shackelford: A♣K♥
Paukovitz didn't want to watch. It seemed like he had a bad feeling, and the flop confirmed it, 6♠A♣10♣ gave Shackelford top pair. The 4♦ turn offered no help, and the 9♥ river ended Paukovitz’s Main Event run, sending him to the rail with his hopes dashed just before the money.
