Shakerchi Eliminated on First Bullet

Level 1 : 500/1,000, 125 ante

Brunno "botteonpoker" Botteon scooped two bigger pots on a table that also includes former SCOOP Main Event champion Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi, who then ended up in a far bigger pot.

UK's "2000kg" raised to 2,160 and Shakerchi defended out of the big blind to see a {5-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop which resulted in the following raising war: Shakerchi check-raised from 2,968 to 10,845, faced a reraise to 24,875 and then made it 48,214 to go. "2000kg" pushed all-in with the superior stack and Shakerchi eventually called for less.

Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi: {a-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}
"2000kg": {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}

The {7-Spades} turn and {8-Diamonds} river sent Shakerchi out on the first bullet.

Jonathan “Corback_fr” Therme has been playing both online and live poker for “a long time”. Last Sunday, he scored the biggest win of his career, picking up life-changing sums and a serious set of accolades.

Therme outlasted a field of 3,419 entries to take down the SCOOP 44-M special edition Sunday Million, earning $216,617. We spoke with the champ to get his thoughts on the win.

“It’s completely insane. I’m still struggling to realize. I’ve been waiting a long time for something this big to happen, but I knew I could do it. I worked a lot in the last months on my game and my mind with the help of some friends, and I’m glad it’s starting to pay off,” says Therme.
