Shorr Sent Packing

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Action folded around to Shannon Shorr in the cutoff, and he made it 2,800 to go. It folded around to Veronica Dabul in the big blind, who moved all in. Shorr called off the rest of his 19,300, and he saw that he would have to win a race to stay alive.

Shorr: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Dabul: {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}

Even thought it started off as a race, Shorr was drawing dead to a chop when the flop came out {4-Spades}{8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. The turn brought the {a-Clubs}, and Shorr's day was over. The meaningless river was the {4-Diamonds}, and Shorr hit the rail just before our first break.
