Brett Shaffer Strafing the Competition

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

We passed by a table and noticed two players all-in with the flop reading {6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. Brett Shaffer held {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} and his opponent tabled {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}, putting Shaffer's pair of jacks well in the lead. His opponent needed to spike a seven or an eight to come from behind and claim the pot.

Turn: {3-Spades}
River: {9-Clubs}

Shaffer's opponent missed his draws and was eliminated from contention early in Day 2.
