Wattel Scoops Monster Pot Versus Sheikhan on the Bubble
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 1,500 ante
"Everybody fold," said short-stacked Max Kruse in the big blind. Shawn Sheikhan had other ideas, however. He raised to 16,000 from under the gun. Mike Wattel was on the button and three-bet to 45,000. The blinds both folded and action was back on Sheikhan.
He plonked out a big stack of oranges and four-bet.
"How much is it? I call," said Wattel. It was 171,000, and after the bet was counted out both players stood pat.
"Look at me," said Sheikhan as he pondered his decision post-draw. "I'm all in."
"I call," said Wattel.
"Eight-six," said Sheikhan.
"EIght-six-five-three-deuce," shot back Wattel, tabling exactly that:
"Motherfucker," said Sheikhan, tabling one worse
