More For Rast, Less for Shakerchi
Level 24
Limit Hold 'em
Talal Shakerchi raised on the button with Q♣9♠ and ran into a three-bet from Brian Rast in the small blind who held K♣K♠. Shakerchi called to see what would be a troublesome flop.
It came J♣9♥2♣, and Shakerchi called a bet from Rast to see the J♦ fall on the turn. That card would cost Shakerchi more chips, as he called another bet from Rast.
On the 10♣ river, Rast continued firing, getting one final call from Shakerchi, whose two pair fell to Rast's superior two pair.
With the win, Rast now has nearly half the chips in play.
