Shaw Doubles Near the End of the Night
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Ziv Bachar raised to 12,000 from middle position and David Shaw jammed for 64,000 from the small blind. Bachar took a moment before making the call, looking to move the field one step closer to the money.
David Shaw: A♥J♣
Ziv Bachar: Q♣9♥
Shaw was ahead and found a favorable flop in the form of 7♥2♥3♥, picking up a flush draw to eliminate even more of Bachar's outs.
The 10♣ turn and 4♣ river changed nothing, and Shaw's ace-high remained best to secure the much-needed double-up.
