Level 11
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Talal Shakerchi opened to 4,500 from the hijack seat, Mike McDonald three-bet to 9,500 on the button, and Shakerchi came along for the ride.
The dealer fanned 
, Shakerchi checked, and McDonald fired 12,300. Shakerchi check-raised all in for what looked like 50,000 or so, and McDonald called.
Shakerchi: 
McDonald: 
Shakerchi held a leading pair of queens, but McDonald was drawing to two straights and a backdoor flush. The 
was no help to McDonald, and the 
bricked on the river as well.
McDonald dropped down to 25,000 chips, while Shakerchi now has around 120,000.
