Level 3 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Isaac Haxton raised to 5,400 from under the gun, and Robert Cowen called from the small blind. Talal Shakerchi then three-bet to 24,000, Haxton called, and Cowen folded.

The dealer revealed a 9♠4♦J♥ flop. Shakerchi bet 25,000, Haxton then wagered enough to put Shakerchi all in for roughly 110,000 effective. Shakerchi quickly called, and the players tabled their hands.

Talal Shakerchi: K♠K♥Q♣Q♠ All in
Isaac Haxton: Q♥J♣6♥4♣

The turn was the 6♠, leaving Shakerchi drawing thin, but the Q♦ on the river was a welcome sight, giving Shakerchi a set and a much needed double up.
