Shankar Wins Without Showdown
Level 25
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Miltiadis Kyriakides opened to 120,000 from the cutoff and was called by Ravi Shankar in the small blind and Bouwe Claushuis in the big blind.
Claushuis bet 225,000 after Shankar checked on the 7♥8♣3♠ flop. Kyriakides folded, but Shankar stuck around with a call.
The 9♦ turn came before Shankar took the betting lead with a wager of 600,000. Claushuis gave it a brief consideration before he folded to award the pot to Shankar.
