We're not entirely sure, but it was a three-way hand before the flop. Mohsin Charania got out cheaply, but the other two were in it for all of their chips.
Shakerchi was allin for 78,000 and had the best hand with 
. San Chan held 
and didn't improve: 
. San Chan still has loads left though, he has about 400,000 left.
We missed the early action, but with 133,500 in the pot and a board reading 
, Ole Schemion bet 91,000 from the big blind and put the pressure on Sorel Mizzi in the hijack. Mizzi thought for about 30 seconds and then released his hand.
Joining the action on the river of a 
board, Philipp Gruissem bet 55,000 against Chun Lei Zhou, the latter having previously called bets on the flop and turn.
Zhou had been thinking for a minute before he moved all in for about 240,000 and Gruissem called instantly. Zhou looked sheepish as he turned over 
having tried to double-float the German. It wouldn't have mattered what he had though, Gruissem tabled 
for a Royal Flush.
Gruissem turned to Phil Ivey saying, "You said he's a nit!"
"I was joking," replied Ivey.
"Well, I guess that hand will get reported..." said Mike McDonald.
Yes sir, it will indeed.

Talal Shakerchi is getting pretty short on chips and he opened this hand to 6,000 when Jason Mercier raised him to 21,000 from the button. Sitting in the big blind Daniel Colman then made it 64,200 and Shakerchi folded.
Mercier checked how much Colman had and they had pretty similar stack sizes of around 240k. Mercier then five-bet to 64,200. Colman now had a look at Mercier’s stack and moved all in.
Mercier snapped him off and tabled 
against the 
of Colman.
The final board read 
and Colman had slightly fewer chips than Mercier and was felted.
