Shaw Takes A Big Hit
Level 32
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Akshat Bajaj raised to 525,000 in middle position and Carl Shaw defended the big blind. Both players checked the 9♣6♣6♥ flop. Shaw bet 650,000 on the Q♠ turn and Bajaj called.
The river was the 8♦ and Shaw checked. Bajaj bet 2,100,000 and Shaw went in the tank. For the first time today, he removed his sunglasses to intensely study the board and his opponent.
After several minutes, he flicked in the calling chips, only to be shown the bad news by Bajaj, who had J♥10♥ for a runner-runner straight.
