Shaffer Makes the Correct Call
Level 32
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
On a flop of Q?8?K?, Tyler Barnes had bet 1,300,000 from the hijack. He was called by Brett Shaffer in the cutoff before the player in middle position folded.
Barnes checked the 9? turn to which Shaffer bet 1,700,000. Barnes stuck around with a call.
The A? river saw Barnes check again. Shaffer bet 2,700,000 and was immediately met by an all-in shove from Barnes. The shove was for Shaffer's remaining 6,000,000 chips. Shaffer took close to four minutes before the clock was called on him. Just as the floor staff started to count down from ten seconds, Shaffer slid in the call.
Barnes showed A?10? for a pair of aces. Shaffer flipped up K?Q? for two pair, and scooped a massive pot.
