Brett Shaffer Claims a Scalp

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante

There was an open to 125 for an opponent who had already lost a few early pots when Brett Shaffer bumped it up to 1,150 and his opponent called.

The flop was {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{4-} and the short-stack player committed the rest of his 4,000 stack with Shaffer putting him at risk.

Shaffer: {q-}{q-}
Opponent {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}

The board bricked out and Shaffer added a decent pot while his opponent was felted.

The GIANT offers unlimited rebuys until the start of Level 9, though, so he may well try again.
