Hand #86: Alex Kuzmin Doubles Thru Shannon Shorr

Alex Kuzmin raises from the button to 50,000, and Shannon Shorr calls from the big blind. The flop comes [Js10d5d], Shorr bets 77,000, and Kuzmin raises to 230,000.

Shorr thinks for about 30 seconds before he moves all in, and Kuzmin immediately calls with [KcKd]. Shorr turns over [Ad6d] for the nut flush draw with an overcard. Kuzmin needs his hand to hold to stay alive.

The turn card is the [Ks], giving Kuzmin a set and killing Shorr’s overcard outs and one of his diamonds.

The river card is the [10s], and Alex Kuzmin wins the pot with his set of kings to double up, knocking Shorr down to about 13 big blinds.
