Action Aplenty

Heads-up, and building a big pot, we look in on Berry Johnston and Shawn Sheikhan. Sheiky completes the bring-in showing the {5-Clubs}

, and then calls a raise from Johnston, who has the {10-Clubs}

in the door.

On fourth street, Johnston bets his {6-Spades}

, and Sheikhan calls with his {6-Diamonds}

.

Fifth street is the {Q-Hearts}

for Johnston, and he bets out. Sheikhan hits a {2-Hearts}

, but he comes back with a raise.

On sixth street, Johnston draws the {Q-Diamonds}

, and he calls a bet from Sheiky, looking at the {8-Clubs}

.

The fire comes on seventh street. After the players are dealt their last card, action is capped at four bets with both players putting in the maximum. The hands are turned over:

Johnston: ( {K-?}

)

(

)
Sheikhan: ( {5-Diamonds}

)

(

Both players nailed seventh street. Johnston picked up kings full of queens, but it was second bets to Sheiky's quad fives. After the dust settled, Berry Johnston was knocked down to 6,300. Shawn Sheikhan, meanwhile, has climbed near the top of the leader board with 20,500.
