Shan Doubles Right Before the Break
Level 31
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Travis Pearson raised to 600,000 on the button and Peng Shan moved all-in out of the small blind for Pearson tocall.
Peng Shan: K?J?9?8?
Travis Pearson: A?10?4?2?
Shan wandered back to his rail and Pearson shook his head on the Q?10?6? flop as Shan had picked up 19 outs to avoid elimination. Nothing changed on the 3? turn but the 8? river improved him to the queen-high straight. Shan didn't realise it at first before he burst out in celebration.
Right after the hand, the five remaining players went on their first scheduled 15-minute break.
