Event 24: Aaron Massey vs. Shannon Shorr Early

$1,100 No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 1: 50/100
Players: 300

Aaron Massey, who earlier this year won the Mid-States Poker Tour FireKeepers Casino in Battle Creek, Michigan for nearly $175,000, opened for 250 under the gun and action folded all the way to Alabama’s Shannon Shorr in the big blind. The Yellowhammer State’s all-time money winner made the call and the two saw a flop of 7dAs5c.

Shorr check-called a bet of 300 and then check called one of 625 on the Ks turn. When the Qs completed the board on the river, Shorr checked for a third time and then quickly called after Massey bet 1,800.

Shorr tabled the AcKd, but it was no good as Massey had flopped top set with the AhAd.

“Ace-king is brutal,” Massey offered.

Aaron Massey – 19,000
Shannon Shorr – 13,000
