Brent Sheirbon Doubles Through Nikolay Losev

Brent Sheirbon
Brent Sheirbon
Brent Sheirbon raised to 22,000 from late position and got a call from both blinds including Nikolay Losev in the big blind.

The flop came {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} and all three players checked. When the {9-Hearts} hit the turn, the small blind checked, Losev bet 30,000 and only Sheirbon called.

The river was the {J-Diamonds} and Losev led out for 40,000. Sheirbon raised to 140,000 and Losev, who had Sheirbon covered, moved all in. Sheirbon called all in for about 320,000 more and the players showed:

Sheirbon: {J-Hearts} {J-Clubs}
Losev: {K-Clubs} {5-Spades}

Sheirbon's full house was best and he doubled up to about 780,000 and left Losev with roughly 600,000.
