Shoals Comes From Behind to Send Two Players to the Exit
Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Marco Shoals raised to 50,000 from under the gun and saw the player in the cutoff jam for 55,000. The small blind then jammed for around 175,000, total. Shoals made the call to put both of his opponents at risk and headed to a runout.
Cutoff: J♥J♠
Small Blind: K♦K♠
Marco Shoals: 8♠8♦
The flop of 9♥5♥7♦ kept the kings in the lead but the 6♦ turn completed the straight for Shoals and left both of his opponents drawing dead headed to the inconsequential 6♣ river as Shoals wins a big pot and scores a double knockout.
