Fair Takes Out Shinoda

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

With 12,500 in the pot on the AQJ flop, Ryan Fair checked from early position, and Takuya Shinoda bet from middle position. Fair check-raised to 16,500, which Shinoda called.

The 9 joined the turn, and Fair led out for 22,500. After taking inventory of his stack, which totaled around 60,000, Shinoda jammed and was snapped off by Fair.

Takuya Shinoda: QJ All in
Ryan Fair: AQ

Both players had flopped two pair, although it was Fair's top two that left Shinoda needing one of the two remaining jacks in the deck to survive.

The 5 wasn't one of them, completing the board and bringing Shinoda's Main Event run to an end. He wished the table good luck before his chips were pushed across to Fair.
