Aces Hold for Shakerchi

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Talal Shakerchi has found the American Airlines at just the right time and near trebled through as a result. All in for 1,800 with {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{A-Spades}

, he found action in two places against {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

, and an ever shorter stack's {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

.

The

{Q-Spades}

{6-Diamonds}

{9-Clubs}

flop was threatening, but the {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

meant only one of two queens could hurt him. The dealer teased on the river by flicking the card face-down and revealing a lick of paint in the process, but when he turned it over, it was a king rather than a lady and a relieved Shakerchi scooped up the pot.
