Wantman Doubles Through Shimizu

Ryan Lashmar

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Matthew Wantman opened to 12,000 from early position and received a call from a player in middle position. Nozomu Shimizu three-bet to 38,000 from the cutoff and Wantman moved all in for approximately 91,000. The middle position player got out of the way and Shimizu called with a covering stack to put Wantman at risk.

Matthew Wantman: A?K?
Nozomu Shimizu: Q?J?

Wantman was ahead with ace-king and remained so on the 2?A?Q?K?4? run out to secure a full double-up while making a serious dent in Shimizu's stack.
