Eldridge Puts a Big Dent in Shakerchi
Level 19
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Michael Duek opened to 105,000 from under the gun and Talal Shakerchi flat-called on the button. David Eldridge three-bet to 420,000 from the big blind which got Duek to fold but Shakerchi still called.
The flop came Q♦9♥7♠ and Eldridge shipped all in for his remaining 735,000. Shakerchi asked for a count and then called to put Eldridge at risk.
David Eldridge: A♠A♣8♠7♣
Talal Shakerchi: K♠K♣9♦5♦
The turn brought the 4♠ which narrowed Shakerchi's outs even further. The river was the Q♣ and Eldridge hung on for a big double up.
