The blinds were at the 20,000/40,000 level when Shorr used A♣5♣ to make a button limp. A 5♠5♦7♦ flop appeared after a big blind check. Action checked to him, prompting him to use trips and place a 40,000 wager before check-raising it to 128,000.

Ripnick called, and 6♠ landed on the turn. Another big blind checked, and a 203,000 bet was called. The player checked again after getting a potential flush from the J♦.
