Shih's Early Three-Bet Fails

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Action folded over to a player in middle position and he raised to 400. Mike "Timex" McDonald called from the hijack seat, the player on the button called and then Kenny Shih three-bet to 1,550 from the small blind. Play folded back to the original raiser and he called. McDonald also called, but the button got out of the way.

The flop came down {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and Shih bet 2,700. His middle-position opponent fired in a raise to 5,500 and McDonald folded. Shih thought for a minute and then also gave it up.
