Shakerchi Takes from Hakim
Level 22
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Talal Shakerchi raised in the cutoff, and only Jeffrey Hakim called, defending his big blind.
Hakim opted to check-raise on a A♥3♦7♠ flop, making it 700,000 after Shakerchi had bet 200,000. Shakerchi called to see one more card.
The turn came the 3♣ and both players checked. When the river J♦ was revealed, Hakim checked again, and Shakerchi paused for a moment before checking back.
Shakerchi tabled A♦K♠J♣4♦ for aces-up, which was enough to beat Hakim's 9♦7♣6♣5♣.
