Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Carl Shaw raised to 200,000 from the hijack and David Guay three-bet to 520,000 from the cutoff. The action folded back to Shaw who made the call.

The flop came 2♥6♦3♦, Shaw bet 450,000 and Guay called.

The turn was the 5♣ and Guay was all in for the remainder of his stack for Shaw to snap-call.

David Guay: A♠K♣ All in
Carl Shaw: 6♥6♣

Guay had the overcards (which were no good) and gutshot to a straight but Shaw had a set of sixes.

The river completed the board with the 7♥ and did not change things as Guay made his way out of the tournament area.
