Shahade Wiped Out in Two

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante
Jennifer Shahade's day has come to an end.
Jennifer Shahade's day has come to an end.

Chess champion Jennifer Shahade was just crippled in an all-in-preflop pot, and then finished off in the very next hand.

Shahade opened to 1,800 in middle position and the player in the cutoff pushed his small stack all in. Shahade called and flipped over {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}, a big underdog to her opponent's {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}. The board ran out {k-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and Shahade was left with just 3,300 to try to run up.

In the next hand, she elected to raise to 2,500 from middle position, leaving just a few hundred behind. The player to her left called and everyone else folded. The flop came {q-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and Shahade check-called her opponent's all-in bet. She showed {j-Hearts}{8-Spades} and still had a few outs in the deck, but her opponent had {a-Clubs}{q-Spades} for top pair and Shahade had no luck improving on the turn or river.
