Warnie Wins a Monstah

Shane Warne
Shane Warne
Shane Warne had seen his stack slip quite a bit during the day but he just picked up a huge pot that got him well in a hurry. After a {8-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} flop the small blind checked and Warne bet 1,300. A player in late position called and the small blind then moved all in for 7,975. Warne called and after the late-position player gave up his hand Shane needed his {A-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} to hold up against his opponent's {K-Hearts} {5-Hearts}. The turn brought the {7-Diamonds} and the river the {4-Spades} and Warne won a 29,000 pot.
