Shorr Makes the River Call; Busts to Fast

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Dietrich Fast (as seen in a previous event)
Dietrich Fast (as seen in a previous event)

On the turn reading {4-Hearts}{K-Spades}{6-Clubs}{A-Hearts}, Dietrich Fast called Shannon Shorr's bet of 10,200.

The two famous players saw the {7-Diamonds} land on the river and Shorr slowed down with a check. Fast didn't act immediately but eventually declared all in for just over 30,000 effectively.

Shorr needed about two minutes to make his decision and then threw some of his chips forward, making the call. Fast showed {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} for a flopped set and Shorr wanted to muck his hand, conceding. As it was an all-in situation, the dealer turned Shorr's hand over and everyone at the table saw that he called with {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

Fast is now closing on 100 big blinds.

Volpe's Aces Suffer a Huge Bad Beat

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Paul Volpe
Paul Volpe

There was 9,200 in front of Paul Volpe, who was sitting in the small blind. His neighbor, Perati Muhamet, had even larger chunk lying a few inches closer to the middle. Muhamet's four-bet from the button was worth 18,200 and Volpe matched that price with a call.

They went to the {6-Clubs}{9-Spades}{9-Clubs} flop where Muhamet continued with a small bet worth 8,600. Volpe asked how much was it and then check-called.

The turn was the {10-Diamonds} and Volpe checked yet again. Muhamet moved all in for 27,800 and Volpe snap-called, showing {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}. Muhamet held {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}, the ten on the turn having brought him an up-and-down straight draw.

Muhamet got there on the {K-Spades} river, and Volpe's stack suffered a huge blow while Muhamet elevated over 100,000.

We got to the table to see Kai Schuster, in the under the gun position, betting 5,200 on the {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades} flop. Terrence Chan, in mid-position, called.
