Sheiky Fills Up

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

On a {9-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} flop, the big blind checked, and the under-the-gun player bet 1,500. Player 3 called next door, and Shawn Sheikhan put in a raise to 5,700 to thin the field. The big blind and the bettor folded, but Player 3 called again to proceed heads-up.

"You love to call me," Sheikhan told him, hinting at some history between the men today. In any event, the turn came the {A-Hearts}, and now Player 3 led out with a bet of his own, 3,500. Sheikhan flatted there, and both players checked through the {9-Diamonds} river that paired the board.

Sheikhan showed {5-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} for the little full house, but it was good enough to drag the pot, moving him up to about 35,000.
