Zervos Leaves Shah Short, Shah Stays in With Double Up
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Alexios Zervos was all in preflop against Sandeep Shah, who had slightly more chips as the cards were turned.
Alexios Zervos: Q?Q?
Sandeep Shah: 10x10x
The board ran out 6?3?7?4?6?. Neither player improved and so Zervos held with his pocket queens to double up his stack, leaving Shah with just 15,000 behind.
The next hand, Zervos limped under the gun and Shah moved all in from the small blind. Zervos made the call and the same two players once again flipped their cards.
Sandeep Shah: A?K?
Alexios Zervos: K?5?
This time, Shah had the much stronger hand and had Zervos dominated. The board ran out Q?8?Q?6?3? and Shah held with the queens on board and his ace high. He stayed in the game and doubled up back to around a starting stack.
