Shaffer Spikes the River

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action was picked up with Brett Shaffer all in for 231,000, a player in small blind was also all in for 90,000. A third player from middle position also made the call to put them both at risk.

Small Blind: Q?Q? All in
Brett Shaffer: A?K? All in
Middle Position: 10?10?

It was the small blind who had his eyes on a triple up with his pocket queens and was still ahead after the 3?8?3? flop. The 7? turn also kept the queens best, but the A? on the river eliminated him, and gave Shaffer the best hand with his pair of aces.
