Shakerchi & Gross Bounded

Level 8 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Talal Shakerchi has been nursing one of the shorter stacks all evening, and he finally found a hand he liked.

We're not sure of the preflop action, but we do know that Shakerchi got his last 165,000 all in holding the {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} and was racing against the {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} of Richard Yong.

"Fifty-fifty," Yong said. The {3-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop made things interesting as Shakerchi picked up a flush draw to go along with his overs. Unfortunately for him, neither the {4-Hearts} turn nor {4-Clubs} river would prove helpful and Shakerchi was eliminated from the tournament.

Meanwhile, Jeff Gross was eliminated from the tournament, though he stated that he will re-enter here in the last level of the night. No word on whether or not Shakerchi will do the same.
