Shoreman Runs Into It Late on Day 2abc

Frank Visser

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Jon Shoreman was playing for a 57,000 pot in the final stretch of Day 2, and there was a completed board of 3♠9♠10♠3♥6♦. Shoreman checked to his opponent, who opted to put out a single chip of the T-25,000 denomination for a bet of the same amount.

Shoreman instantly called but shook his head once his opponent showed the K♠Q♠ for the king-high flush. Shoreman mucked his cards and dropped back down a bit in chips after a fruitful period.

Heitor Saraiva and an opponent had built a pot of around 140,000 heading to the river on a board of 9♣5♥8♦J♥6♥ when Saraiva slid forward a stack of green 25,000 chips to put his opponent all in.

The all-in player threw his cards into the muck before making a quick exit. The dealer retrieved two fives and flipped them over. "I don't care. Just give me the chips," Saraiva said.
