Shumaker Picks Off the Bluff
Level 23
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Action folded to Demian Shumaker in the cutoff who raised and was called by Danny Clarkson in the big blind.
The flop came 9?4?Q? and Clarkson checked to Shumaker who bet out 70,000, before Clarkson raised to 180,000. Shumaker made the call to see a turn.
Both players checked after the K? turn which brought the 3? on the river. Clarkson bet out 250,000, and Shumaker sat in the tank. After nearly a minute thinking over his decision, he made the call. Clarkson tabled to J?6? for jack high and a missed flush draw. Shumaker tabled A?9? for a pair of nines to take the pot.
