Shakerchi Doubles Through Haxton

Joseph Berg

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.

Three-way to a flop of 2♥A♠8♠, it checked to Gergo Nagy on the button, who bet 15,000 into the pot of 30,400. Jonathan Azoulay quickly folded from early position before David Corwin called in the cutoff.

Corwin checked the 4♦ turn to Nagy as well, and was met with a pot-sized bet of 60,400. Corwin had only 25,000 more than that, and he decided to fold his hand and preserve his chips.

Suvarna then fired 26,000 on the 10♣ turn, which Bujtas called. Suvarna announced a pot-sized bet on the 2♥ river, but the exact amount did not have to be put in as Bujtas had already mucked his cards.
