McShea Leads Twice

Dan O'Hair

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Kevin McShea opened to 3,500 from under the gun and called a three-bet of 9,000 from Manuel Reyes, who was in middle position.

The flop came K♠8♥5♠ and McShea led out for 12,000. Reyes clicked it to 24,000 and McShea called.

McShea shoved for his last 29,500 after the A♥ fell on the turn and Reyes re-checked his hole cards before sending them into the muck.

At another table, Chad Holloway has enjoyed a nice level and has built his stack from 15,000 to over 100,000.
