Shorr Counterfeited, Soika Survives
Level 19
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Ihar Soika raised to 200,000 on the button and Shannon Shorr responded by moving all in from the small blind for 2,800,000. The big blind folded, and Soika called off his stack of 1,435,000 to be at risk.
Ihar Soika: A♦10♦
Shannon Shorr: 4♥4♦
Shorr was looking to reduce the field by one but was unsuccessful, as the J♣6♦5♣J♦5♠ board saw his small pocket pair counterfeited on the river, providing Soika a double-up.
