Richard Alsup Doubles Thru Shannon Shorr

Richard Alsup raises to 10,000 from the cutoff and Shannon Shorr defends from the big blind.

The flop comes 983 and Shorr checks. Alsup bets 12,500 and Shorr calls.

The turn brings the 10. Shorr bets out 26,000, prompting Alsup to quickly shove all-in for 132,000 total.

Shorr deliberates for over two minutes, scrunching his face in agony over his deliberation. He rubs his forehead with his hands as he thinks through the hand. He does have Alsup covered, but would have just around 25,000 left if he calls and loses.

Eventually, Shorr does call with 910 for top pair. He is up against Alsup’s J10 for top pair with an open-ended straight draw.

The river is the Q, completing Alsup’s straight to give him the pot and the double up.

Richard Alsup – 315,000
Shannon Shorr – 23,000
