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

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.

Read the entire interview with Therme over at the PokerStars Blog.
