Shankar Gets There to Leave Lennon Short
Level 26
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Ravi Shankar opened 150,000 in early position and Jeff Lennon called on the button.
The dealer spread a flop of 5♣3♣2♥ and Shankar continued for 220,000. Lennon piled a stack of greens and pushed them across the line for a raise to 550,000. Shankar took a couple of moments before jamming his 1,140,000 across the line and Lennon snap called.
Ravi Shankar: A♠K♥ 
Jeff Lennon: 10♣10♠
Lennon briefly had the lead but the 4♦ turn left him drawing to a chop as Shankar improved to a straight. The J♠ river was no help for Lennon as Shankar raked in the double.
