Ryan Gray

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Sarah Herzali raised 125,000 from the button, Shannon Shorr reraised to 425,000, and Herzali called.

They took in a flop of 7♣K♥8♠ and Shorr continued for 160,000. Herzali tanked briefly, then called.

Shorr bet again, 370,000 this time on a 4♥ turn. The two stared at each other laser-like until finally Herzali called, building a 1,500,000 pot.

The 4♠ hit the river, and this time Shorr checked. After another minutes-long tank, Herzali gathered a stack of 100,000 chips, two million worth and placed them in front of her.

Shorr climbed deep into the tank, sighing heavily, turning his Vegas Knights baseball cap backward, eyeing his chips, sliding his cards back and forth.

Herzali stayed perfectly still, perched on her chair with a scarf up to her nose. With another sigh, Shorr called. Herzali showed her K♦Q♥. Shorr stood up, flinging his cards into the muck.
