Shakerchi Raises the River
Level 2
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Alex Foxen opened to 3,500 first to act and was three-bet to 12,000 by Talal Shakerchi in middle position. Action folded back to Foxen, who called.
Foxen check-called a 13,000 bet from Shakerchi on the 9♦6♦4♣ flop and then both players checked on the 5♦ turn.
The A♥ completed the board and Foxen led out for 16,000. Shakerchi responded with a raise to 55,000 and Foxen let his hand go after a bit of thought.
