Shane's Set Ships It

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

We caught up with action with the board reading {2-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and Brandon Shane in a three way all-in confrontation. Shane showed down his {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} for a flopped top set and was well ahead of his opponents, who held {A-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and {A-}{2-}.

Shane needed to avoid a diamond on the turn or river, and when the dealer revealed two safe cards in the form of the {A-Hearts} and the {7-Clubs}, he had eliminated two players from the tournament.

After asking him for a quick chip count, Shane reported that he now holds a stack of 590,000, which catapults him to the top of our leaderboard.
