Day 2: Shaw Has Blades in the Big Blind

Written by Kirk | Mar 3, 2025 2:03:40 AM

After an open from short-stacked Kamoru Yusuf, Corey Roepken moved all in from the small blind to cover him but then David Shaw snap-called to put him at risk and Yusuf quickly got out of the way. 

Roepken flipped over A♠K♦ but ran right into the A♦A♥ of Shaw, truly a nightmare scenario. 

The runout of 9♣7♥3♠6♣6♠ failed to save Roepken and he was sent to the rail while Shaw chipped up to over 4,000,000. 

Shaw - 4,140,000
Roepken - 0
