Mahiou Wakes Up with Kings

Calum Grant

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Carl Shaw, the small blind, had Romain Mahiou, the big blind, all-in for his last 315,000.

Romain Mahiou: K♣K♦[allin[
Carl Shaw: 10♣6♣

Shaw picked up a gutshot on the 9♠8♣4♠ flop, but the kings held to double after the 2♠ turn and 9♦ river.

While Mahiou survived, Dragoljub Martinovic and Nenad Cvetkovic had been ousted on other tables.
