Shah Staying Afloat

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

When we got to the table, Sean Shah was already all in with 42,000 in the main pot, while Peter Levine and Matthew Shepsky were heads-up in a 40,000-chip side pot. Levine was in the small blind, Shepsky had shoved for 73,000 from the big blind, and Levine was in the tank. He ultimately folded and the two remaining live players tabled their hands.

Sean Shah: {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Matthew Shepsky: {Q-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{9-Spades}{2-Spades}

Shah had the lead with the better two pair and Shepsky needed to improve to win the pot. The {J-Clubs} river gave both players jacks full, but Shah's boat was better, so he took the main pot and Shepsky took the side.
