American Civil War

Dennis Waterman

There aren't a lot of Americans in the field today, but two of them are seated next to each other on table 14.

Dennis Waterman and Michael Shinzaki recently tangled in a pot that saw Shinzaki come out on top.

The two Americans went heads up to a {10-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{7-Spades} flop with Shinzaki leading 900 chips from middle position. Waterman came over the top to 2,950 with Shinzaki tanking before making the call.

On the turn {k-Spades} Shinzaki confidently fired out 3,000 chips and Waterman announced call. The river {10-Hearts} saw both players check, and Shinzaki revealed his {Q-Spades}{9-Spades}. Waterman mucked his cards.

"I would have been all in on the flop with that hand," commented Waterman shaking his head.

Waterman is down to 14,500. Shinzaki moves up to 34,000.
