Shepsky Makes Massive Hero Call

Level 38 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Matthew Shepsky
Matthew Shepsky

Jeremy Kerbel limped in from the button, Christopher Vitch did the same from the small blind, and Matthew Shepsky checked in the big blind.

On the 63K flop, action checked to Kerbel, who put in a bet of 2,000,000. Vitch got out of the way, but Shepsky made the call.

Shepsky checked again on the A turn, and Kerbel didn't slow down, announcing a bet of 6,500,000. After some thought, his opponent called to see the A river.

Shepsky checked for a third time, and Kerbel fired out a bet of 11,000,000, which sent Shepsky deep into the tank. After a good two minutes of thinking, he slid forward a stack to represent a call.

"Good call," murmered Kerbel, as he sheepishly held on to his cards. The onus was on him to show, and when prompted by the dealer he tabled KQ75 for two pair. Shepsky showed 10982 for the eight-high flush, as he scooped the massive pot to grow his chip lead over the table.

Level 38 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Nick Pupillo
Nick Pupillo

Nick Pupillo potted to 3,500,000 from the cutoff, and Matthew Shepsky repotted to 12,000,000 from the button. The blinds folded, and Pupillo called all in.

Nick Pupillo: QJJ7 All in
Matthew Shepsky: AKJ7

Shepsky let his rail know that he needed an ace or a king, and he got more than what he asked for on the AA7 flop, giving him the nuts. Running quads was Pupillo's only exit strategy, but the 6 turn sealed his fate. He was already leaving the table as the 10 river completed the board.

Mark Radoja: AKQ5All in
Jeremy Kerbel: J996

Kerbel had flopped a boat, but Radoja was drawing to a better one. The 8 turn changed nothing, but the A river improved Radoja to kings full, as he scooped the huge pot.

After the hand was over, Shepsky let the tabke know that he had folded aces.
