Carl Shaw
Carl Shaw

Claudio Di Giacomo opened to 50,000 from middle position. Carl Shaw in the hijack three-bet to 200,000, and Alexandre Bermon called in the cutoff while Di Giacomo stepped aside.

Both players checked the 10J7 flop.

On the 3 turn, Shaw took the lead with a bet of 130,000, and Bermon stayed with him to see the river.

The Q completed the board, and Shaw fired again for 340,000. This time Bermon came back with a raise to 975,000. Shaw went deep into the tank, using four time bank cards, before open-mucking set with JJ.

"Ace-King?" he asked, and Bermon turned over AK for the straight, scooping a nice pot.
