Shimamoto Gets a Massive Double
Level 34
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Picking up the action on the turn, Branden Shimamoto on the button was involved in a hand with Harrison Ashdown in the big blind.
With the board reading 6?A?J?10? Ashdown checked. Shimamoto bet 2,400,000 and then snap called with the effective stack after Ashdown moved all in.
Branden Shimamoto: K?5? 
Harrison Ashdown: J?J?
Shimamoto held the nuts and would just need to avoid a board pairing river to get a huge double. The river came 4? to keep the flush best, leaving Ashdown with crumbs.
