Shimelfarb Rolls With Picture Cards

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

We didn't see the action, but Gennady Shimelfarb got his last 29,000 or so all in with {k-Spades}{q-Clubs} in the big blind against Scott Mahin, who held {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} in late position. The board ran out {j-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{3-Spades}{j-Hearts}, giving Shimelfarb the three-outer he needed to survive.

Tom Hammers said Shimelfarb had lost most of his chips early on with {j-}{j-} to the {5-}{5-} of Jim Boone.

"Nothing steamy about that play," Shimelfarb said with a smile. "I looked down and saw two picture cards."

A few hands later, Shimelfarb doubled once again when his {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} held up against {8-Clubs}{8-Spades} all in preflop.
