Shapiro Hits the Rail in Brutal Fashion
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Scott Baumstein raised in early position to 20,000, David Mclaws on his direct left three-bet to 40,000, Norman Shapiro shoved for 127,000 in middle position, Baumstein folded and Mclaws called.
Norman Shapiro: A♣A♦
David Mclaws: 3♦3♠
Great flop for Shapiro as it came 8♥Q♥7♣, but a brutal 3♣ on the turn gave Mclaws a set and sent him well into the lead. Shapiro had two outs but neither of them appeared on the K♥ river and he was eliminated.
