Popp Flops a Boat

Level 1 : 1,000/1,000, 1,000 ante

With players starting with 600 big blinds, there is plenty of room for play. We caught up with a hand where 90,000 was in the middle already and James Popp bet 50,000 on the {8-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{j-Diamonds} river.

Talal Shakerchi called and Popp turned over {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for a full house and Shakerchi mucked.

Shakerchi Wins One From Klein

Level 1 : 1,000/1,000, 1,000 ante

Talal Shakerchi opened to 3,000 under the gun and Bill Klein three-bet to 8,000 from the hijack. Action folded back to Shakerchi who added the remainder to call.

The dealer spread a flop of {q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{6-Spades} and Shakerchi check-called a bet of 7,000 from Klein. The turn brought the {8-Spades} and was checked through to the {a-Hearts} river. Both players checked again. Klein showed {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} for queens and eights and Shakerchi revealed {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs} to win the pot with aces and eights.
