Talal Shakerchi: XxXx/Q♣3♥8♥6♥ - folded seventh street
James Obst: XxXx/10♠2♦4♣K♥ - folded sixth street
Maxx Coleman: XxXx/3♣ - folded bring-in
After Talal Shakerchi completed Maxx Coleman's bring-in, James Obst made it two bets to go and Daniel Alaei made it three bets. Shakerchi then made it four bets and the other two called with Coleman folding his bring-in amidst the action.
On fourth street, Alaei checked and Shakerchi bet, getting calls from his two opponents.
Fifth street saw a round of checks, but on sixth street, pairing aces, Alaei bet, only getting called by Shakerchi.
On seventh, Alaei placed a final bet but Shakerchi couldn't call it, sending the very sizeable pot to Alaei.
