Shihadeh Dents Garshofsky, Martini Finishes the Job

David Salituro

Niveau 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Matthew Shihadeh was all in for around 615,000 from the big blind and up against Mitch Garshofsky on the button.

Matthew Shihadeh: K♠K♣
Mitch Garshofsky: A♣J♥

The board ran out 7♠7♦6♣4♦J♠ and Shihadeh doubled up with his pocket kings to leave Garshofsky on fumes.

Garshofsky got his last 150,000 in the middle the next hand, this time against James Martini.

Mitch Garshofsky: A♦8♥
James Martini: 10♦10♥

Garshofsky had once again run into a big pair. "Where's the ace," he pleaded, but none came on the 9♥6♦3♥9♠Q♥ board to send him to the rail.
