Shakerchi on Fumes
Level 24
Limit Hold 'em
James Obst raised in the cutoff with A♥4♥ and got three-bet by a short-stacked Talal Shakerchi on the button with 10♠10♣. Obst called to see a A♣K♥Q♦ flop, giving him top pair.
Obst checked to Shakerchi, who bet, and the Australian star came back with a check-raise. Shakerchi peeled, leaving himself just 475,000 chips.
On the 6♣ turn Obst bet and Shakerchi now folded, preserving his now very small stack.
