With 14,500 in the middle, Shannon Shorr checked to his opponent who fired out a bet of 7,000. Shorr took about 10 seconds before shoving his entire stack of 24,800 across the line.
The opponent asked for a count and decided to muck his hand shortly after.
In the penultimate show of the summer, Chad & Jesse welcome two guests to the show starting with Josh Arieh, who has won two bracelets this summer and was nominated for the Poker Hall of Fame. Arieh talked about the WSOP back in the late 1990s, his career resurgence, Poker Stake, and shares a fun story involving Ted Forrest and the late Layne Flack.
The other guest is 2004 WSOP Main Event runner-up David Williams, who was fresh of winning a Flip & Go. He talks about his history in that event, how his WSOP gold bracelet and diamond toothpick were stolen in a home robbery, and why he wouldn’t do Master Chef again.
Chad and Jesse then do a new "Calling the Clock" segment in which they offer quick two-minute dialogues for topics on “The Board.”
Robert Burlacu opened 6,000 in middle position, and he was called by both the cutoff and the big blind.
The dealer spread a flop of J♠6♦5♦, and the action checked to the cutoff who fired a bet of 5,000. The big blind check-raised 16,000, and both Burlacu and the cutoff called.
When the 7♣ hit the turn, the big blind continued for 36,000. Burlacu called off his stack of 29,000, while the cutoff surrendered the pot.
Robert Burlacu: J♦J♥
Big blind: 7♦3♥
Burlacu flopped top set and was able to fade the straight draw of his opponent as the board completed with the 3♥ on the river.
