Written by Kirk | Mar 2, 2025 6:50:58 AM

James Dougherty opened UTG to 25,000 and was called by Antonio Washington on the button before Harold Schmoecker moved all in from the small blind for 120,000. After a slight pause, Vivek Shingala called from the big blind and after a more lengthy tank, Dougherty called as well. 

Dougherty and Shingala then checked through the flop A♠J♦7♦ and turn 8♦ to go straight to the river 7♥. Shingala then moved all in to cover Dougherty who shook his head and mucked. Shingala then tabled A♦K♥ for two pair while Schmoecker sighed and tabled Q♦Q♥. 

Shingala - 720,000
Dougherty - 295,000
Schmoecker - 0
