Shady Chouity Drops a Six

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Gaetan Deneuve opened the pot with a raise, and Mark Shepherd three-bet shoved for 7,500. Nicolas Choutiy called all in for 3,700 from the big blind, and Deneuve went ahead and matched the bet with a chance at the double knockout. Cards up, gents.

Deneuve: {5-Clubs} {5-Hearts}
Shepherd: {A-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}
Chouity: {6-Clubs} {6-Spades}

The {Q-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} flop was clean for Chouity, still in the lead with his pair of sixes.

Turn: {6-Diamonds}.

That'll do it. Chouity had locked up the double with a set, and now Shepherd needed to pair up to stave off elimination. He could not. The river {2-Spades} is the last card of his day, the side pot going over to Deneuve to mitigate his losses.

It's a triple up for Chouity, though, up to 13,500 now.
