Shahar Keeping Up the Aggression

[user46392]

Alon Shahar raised to 18,000 in early position, only for Terry Boyd to go all in for 63,500 from the small blind. After some brief consideration, Shahar slid his cards out from under a card protector which closely resembles a grape, and let the hand go.

As if to make up for it, though, he won the next two hands in a row. First he made it 18,000 UTG and it folded around to Cory Albertson on the big blind who thought about it for a little while, but then folded. As he was folding, Albertson took delivery of a glass of orange juice from one of the waiters. "Keeps my hair orange," he toasted me.

The following hand, Todd Terry raised Shahar's big blind from the button. Shahar called. They both checked the {2-Hearts}

flop, and saw the {5-Clubs}

turn, at which point Shahar bet out 20,000. Terry called. The river came down the {J-Hearts}

and now Shahar bet out 60,000. With an enormous sigh, Terry went into the tank. After some time contemplating the felt with his hand to his temples, Terry folded, leaving himself with 120,000.
