Shields Doubles Again
Nivel 22
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Edison Shields found another double-up, but he had fallen short again previously, so he's back up to where he was after his last double. This time Shields got it all in preflop against Gregg Merkow.

"I'm in better shape than I thought!" Shields said excitedly.
"Look out. I'm running good," replied Merkow.
The flop was dangerous for Shields, coming 
to give Merkow a flush draw. The turn and river did not complete the flush though — coming

— and Shields was safe.
Shields commented on the unfortunate flop. "What are you complaining about? You faded it," said Merkow.
