Shakerchi Coolers Ivey with Four Hands To Go
Level 20
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Talal Shakerchi raised from the cutoff to 120,000, and Phil Ivey, on the button, three-bet to 420,000. Action folded back to Shakerchi, who elected to call.
The flop came down a monotone 7♣10♣3♣, and both players checked.
The dealer then revealed the 6♠ turn, and Shakerchi bet out for 475,000. Ivey called, and the players went to a river.
The 10♠ paired the board but didn't slow Shakerchi down, as he bet 625,000. Ivey snap-called and received the bad news.
Shakerchi turned over A♣Q♣J♦9♦ for the flopped nut flush. Ivey turned over just the K♣ and the 4♣, showing he had flopped the second nut flush.
Shakerchi suggested to Ivey that all the chips should have ended up in the middle, as he pulled in a mammoth pot with just a few hands remaining.
