Bell Doubles Up - Stacks Back to Even
![[user46392]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Dan Shak limped in on the button and Chris Bell checked his option - no particular change there. They saw a flop.
Flop: 
Bell checked and Shak bet pot. Bell called after just a shortish pause.
Turn: 
Bell checked again and Shak bet pot once more - this time pot constituted 360,000. Bell tanked up for several minutes before he flat-called, leaving himself just 465,000 behind. Everyone held their breath.
River: 
Bell moved all in. Shak called, and then promptly announced, "Unbelievable," and walked away from the table.
Shak: 
for two pair on the flop
Bell: 
for a higher two pair on the river
When Shak returned to the table he paid up. "How'd you make that call?" he said. "Nice hand."
Said Bell, "You don't have to have the nuts every time."
A short discussion ensued about what various draws and outs they had both had, but the upshot was the same - the stacks are even once again and we could be here a long while yet.
