Shuts Short After Calling Off Ensan

Frank Visser

Niveau 20 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Hossein Ensan opened the action with a raise to 240,000 as first to act. "Lion King" called on the button and Maksim Shuts defended his big blind.

Ensan then continued for 240,000 on the Q♣5♥Q♠ flop, folding out "Lion King" but getting check-called by Shuts.

Both players checked the 7♠ turn to the K♦ river, where Shuts checked once more. Ensan did not, however, as he slid in a bet of 475,000.

Shuts went deep into the tank, spending two time banks before slamming in a call for around half his stack.

Ensan tabled A♠Q♥7♥4♦ for queens full of sevens and saw Shuts toss his cards into the muck in defeat.
