Shimelfarb Rips the River
Level 23
: 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Action folded around to James Lawrence in the small blind and he opened to 65,000. Gennady Shimelfarb was in the big blind and defended, taking the two heads up to the flop 
. Lawrence fired a continuation-bet of 100,000 and Shimelfarb called.
The turn came 
and Lawrence continued with another bet of 150,000. Shimelfarb stuck around, bringing the river 
. Lawrence emptied the clip, firing a third barrel for 200,000. Shimelfarb went into the tank for about 20 seconds.
"All in," said Shimelfarb. Lawrence folded not long after and Shimelfarb took down the pot.
