Shaffer Spikes the River
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Action was picked up with Brett Shaffer all in for 231,000, a player in small blind was also all in for 90,000. A third player from middle position also made the call to put them both at risk.
Small Blind: Q♠Q♣ 
Brett Shaffer: A♣K♦
Middle Position: 10♥10♦
It was the small blind who had his eyes on a triple up with his pocket queens and was still ahead after the 3♠8♣3♥ flop. The 7♦ turn also kept the queens best, but the A♦ on the river eliminated him, and gave Shaffer the best hand with his pair of aces.
