A player from early position opened to 600,000. Brett Shaffer called from middle position and the player in the big blind called.
The three players checked the J♣9♠4♠ flop to see the K♥ come on the turn. After the big blind checked, the early position player put out a bet of 1,250,000. This was met by an all-in shove by Shaffer. The big blind folded quickly and the action was back on the early position player. Shaffer had the covering stack so the raise was for the early position player's remaining 2,300,000. After some thought, the player in early position folded.
