Schakeri and Penev Knock Out Pop
Level 27
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Cornel-Gabriel Pop was in the big blind with a severe short stack and big blind ante invested. He faced a raise to 100,000 by Schayan Schakeri and a three-bet to 250,000 by Zlatin Penev, after which he called all-in for 175,000 and Schakeri came along.
On the A♣7♠7♥ flop, Schakeri check-called for 65,000 and did so again for 250,000 on the 2♣ turn. The A♥ river was checked as Schakeri was shown the A♠Q♠ by his table neighbour. Schakeri had a dry smile on the face as his A♦7♦ had flopped a full house only to settle for a chop.
In the meanwhile, Pop's tournament ended as he stood no chance with the J♣9♦.
