Shakerchi Scores Knockout

Matt O'Halloran

Level 6 : Blinds 1,250/2,500, 250 ante

After Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi limped in the small blind, "bajskorven87" checked his option to see a flop.

On the 10♥7♣2♣ flop, Shakerchi led out for 3,313, earning a call. On the 8♥ turn, Shakerchi fired again, now for 8,627. This time he faced a raise, to the tune of 38,757. Shakerchi reraised to 68,887, enough to put his opponent at risk. Once his opponent made that call, the cards were flipped.

"bajskorven87": 9♣9♥8♠3♥
Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi: A♥K♣J♥J♦

Shakerchi was in good position to score the knockout, and the Q♦ sealed the deal, as his jacks were enough to send his opponent to the rail.

Level 7 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

Action folded to Linus "LLinusLLove" Loeliger on the button, who opened to 8,100. Ola "Odd_Oddsen" Amundsgard, in the small blind, bumped it up to 27,300. Once the big blind got out of the way, Loeliger made the call.

On the 3♣4♣9♦ flop, Amundsgard led out with a pot-sized bet of 59,400, earning a call.

On the 8♥ turn, Amundsgard once again bet the pot. Loeliger, who had less than half the pot behind, made the call for his tournament life.

Linus "LLinusLLove" Loeliger: A♠6♥5♠3♥
Ola "Odd_Oddsen" Amundsgard: A♣A♦Q♦5♦

Loeliger was behind, but had decent equity to double up. The J♦, however, was not one of his outs, and he was sent to the rail at the hands of Amundsgard.

Level 8 : Blinds 1,750/3,500, 350 ante

Aku "Aku1206" Joentausta, in the cutoff, opened for 10,500. Joao "Naza114" Vieira, on the button, reraised to 36,750. Action folded back around to Joentausta, who put in a call.

The flop fell 2♦10♠8♦. Once checked to, Vieira fired out for the pot, 80,850. Joentausta then moved all in, with the effective stack of 205,874. Vieira made the call.

Aku "Aku1206" Joentausta: A♦10♣9♦2♣
Joao "Naza114" Vieira: A♣K♥10♥4♠

Joentausta was a 3:1 favorite to double up, but still had to fade the turn and river. He did just that on the 5♠Q♥ runout, as his two pair was still best.

Joao "Naza114" Vieira	532,396 311,371	311,371

Niklas "Lena900" Astedt: A♠Q♣10♣3♠
"AlexKP": A♣K♥J♠J♦

On the 5♦ turn, Lau fired for 194,600, enough to put his opponent at risk. "AmSoGood" made the call, and it was time for a showdown.

"AmSoGood": A♥Q♥Q♠3♠
Ka Kwan "kaju85" Lau: A♣K♦6♣5♥

"AmSoGood" was in great shape to double up, and the 2♣ river ensured they did just that, with queens full of twos.

Benny "RunGodlike" Glaser, in pursuit of his eighth WCOOP title of the series, has been spotted at the virtual tables.

Glaser opened up the action from the cutoff for 12,000. "AmSoGood", just to his left, made the call. Action checked down to the river, leaving a board of 8♠10♥8♣7♥4♦ on the felt. Glaser fired out for 8,000. After a bit of thought, "AmSoGood" made the call.

Glaser rolled over K♥K♠J♠3♥ for two pair. Once his opponent mucked his hand, the modest pot was pushed to Glaser, enjoying a healthy, above-starting chip stack midway through Day 1.
