The Same Three Suspects
Talal Shakerchi opened to 300,000 in middle position and was called by Najeem Ajez in the cutoff and Evan Krentzman in the big blind. The flop came A♠A♦6♦ and Shakerchi continued with a bet of 240,000. Ajez called and Krentzman got out of the way.
The turn brought the 9♣ and both players checked to the 8♣. Two more checks and Shakerchi tabled K♥K♣8♦3♥ for the winner.
On the next hand, Shakerchi raised to 300,000 again and both Ajez and Krentzman came along again. The flop fell J♦6♣6♦ and Shakerchi sized up a bet of 425,000. Ajez folded this time but Kretnzman was the one who to keep Shakerchi honest.
The turn was the A♣ and the action checked through to the 3♣ on the river. At showdown, Krentzman flipped over 8♣7♠6♠5♠ for trip sixes and Shakerchi mucked his cards.
