Hello, Mr. Sheirbon
We recently spotted former LATP final tablist Brent Sheirbon in the field, who is one of the few Americans who played Day 1a. In a recent hand, a player in the cutoff limped and Sheirbon called from the small blind. The big blind came along for the ride, and it was three-way action to the 
flop.
Sheirbon led out for 1,200, the big blind call, and the cutoff folded, bringing about the 
turn. This time Sheirbon bet 1,400, his opponent called, and the 
was put out on the river. Both players decided to check, prompting the big blind to reveal 
for a flush. It was good as Sheirbon mucked.
For those who don't know Sheirbon, we dug up a bio on the man from when he made the final table of the 2008 LAPT San José Main Event:
"Sheirbon is a native of The Dalles, Oregon USA, but he comes to us today from his home in Panama. Sheirbon is a 33-year-old IT-consultant-turned-poker-pro. He is already well-regarded in tournament poker, having earned several nice finishes in major events. Among those were a 13th place finish in the WPT Bellagio Main Event, as well as in-the-money finishes in the last two WSOP Main Events (392nd and 134th, respectively)."
Sheirbon went on to finish third in the 2008 LAPT San José Main Event for $109,913.
