Matt Shafman limped from the small blind, and Derek Bowers checked his option in the big blind.

The flop came down Js5c4h, and Shafman bet 12,000. Bowers raised to 29,000, Shafman called, and the turn was the Jh. Shafman checked, Bowers bet 16,000, Shafman check-raised to 55,000, and Bowers called.

The river was the Qd, and both players checked.

“I’ve got nothing,” said Shafman.

Bowers didn’t flinch, though, waiting for Shafman to table his hand. Shafman eventually showed 8d7h, followed by Bowers tabling 10d5h for jacks and fives to win the pot.

Derek Bowers – 475,000 (79 bb)
Matt Shafman – 140,000 (23 bb)
