Shakerchi Takes from Hakim

Stewart Morrison

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♣.

Sava Krink

Level 22 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

The pot was around 250,000, and the board showed 4♣7♥7♦J♣. In a battle of the blinds, Roman Hrabec checked to Evan Krentzman, who bet 150,000, which Hrabec called.

On the 8♦ river, Hrabec checked once more, and Krentzman made it 425,000. Hrabec went into the tank before he raised to 1,200,000, prompting a snap-call from Krentzman, leading to a showdown.

Hrabec tabled 8♥7♠6♦6♣ for a full house sevens-full-of-eights, which caused Krentzman to snap his fingers, which seemed to show that Hrabec was slightly better as Krentzman's cards found the muck.

Level 21 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Talal Shakerchi raised on the button to 175,000 and Dennis Weiss defended his big blind to the 9♠A♣9♦ flop.

Weiss checked to Shakerchi, who continued for 135,000. The call was made and the dealer flipped over the A♥ turn. Weiss checked again, as did Shakerchi.

The 3♥ river produced another pair of checks, and Weiss showed K♣K♥10♥9♥ for trip nines. Shakerchi slid his cards into the muck, and Weiss raked in the pot.

Adam Lamers

Level 21 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Ben Lamb was heads-up with Anson Tsang where all of the chips went into the middle on the flop. Lamb had six outs to outright win versus the two outs of Tsang. Neither player connected and the pot was chopped up.

Following that, Isaac Haxton raised to 175,000 in the hijack and was called by Petko Tsakov on the button and Lamb in the big blind. The flop came Q♦10♥9♣ and Haxton continued with a bet of 90,000, which both of his opponents called.

The turn was the J♣ and Lamb led out with a bet of 600,000. Haxton raised the pot, which got Tsakov out of the hand, but Lamb shoved all in for slightly more. Haxton called and the cards were tabled.

Ben Lamb: A♣K♦5♦2♣ All in
Isaac Haxton: A♠K♥10♠8♥

Both players had the nut straight, but this time Lamb had an outright freeroll with a flush draw. The river was the A♥ and the two players chopped it up again.

Player	Chips	Progress
Isaac Haxton	4,200,000 655,000	655,000

Ben Lamb	2,550,000 130,000	130,000

Nick Vazquez

Level 21 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Evan Krentzman limped on the button, Frank Brannan called from the small blind, and Phil Ivey checked his option.

The flop came 10♣9♠8♦ and action checked to Krentzman on the button. He bet 100,000, and Ivey was the only caller.

Action went check, check, on the 9♦ turn. On the Q♠ river, Ivey checked and Krentzman bet 275,000. Ivey gave him a look, and eventually threw in the call. Krentzman tabled Q♣Q♥6♥4♠ for a rivered full house, and that won him the pot

Level 21 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Jeffrey Hakim opened to 160,000 from the hijack, and when action folded to Ka Kwan Lau in the big blind, he moved all in for 315,000. Action returned to Hakim, who made the call.

Ka Kwan Lau: Q♣8♦7♣7♥ All in
Jeffrey Hakim: A♠K♦6♥5♠

A promising start for Lau on the 9♣4♣7♦ flop, giving him a set and a flush draw. Hakim had an open-ended straight draw, and the turn 2♦ gave him more straight outs.

The 3♣ river completed Hakim's straight, but also Lau's flush, giving him a full double up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Jeffrey Hakim	7,650,000 2,000,000	2,000,000

Ka Kwan Lau	705,000 265,000	265,000

Talal Shakerchi raised to 150,000 in the hijack, with Jeffrey Hakim making the call in the big blind.

Hakim checked the 5♥ river, and Shakerchi checked back while tabling K♥K♦9♦8♠. That was good enough to claim the pot as Hakim mucked.

Level 21 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Scott Bohlman opened to 175,000 from under the gun, and David Eldridge called on the button. Both players checked the 9♥J♥Q♥ flop before Bohlman led out for 225,000 on the 8♣ turn.

Eldridge called to see the 3♠ river, where Bohlman moved all in for 795,000.

After using a time extension, Eldridge opted to let his hand go and Bohlman collected the pot.
