Everybody Loves a.......

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Action folded to Thanh Duong on the button, who made it 55,000 to play and was looked up by Michael Shaferman in the big blind.

On the 98J flop, Shaferman check-called Duong's 45,000 continuation-bet for the dealer to peel off the 9 as the turn. Shaferman checked once more to Duong, who fired out a second barrel of 115,000. Shaferman flat-called once more.

The dealer rolled off the J as the river, and Shaferman led out for 100,000. Duong didn't take long and tossed in the call, tabling K9 for a full house, the same hand as Shaferman had with Q9, so they chopped the pot.
