Lucky River for Shankam
Level 25
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Srivatsa Shankam open-shoved for his last 500,000, holding A♦10♠, and Harry Lodge made the call next to him with a better hand, A♥Q♠.
Shankam was in bad shape for his tournament's life as the board first fell 8♦7♣3♣A♣, but a lucky 10♣ hit the river to give him two pair and the double up.
