Shakerchi Rivers Greenberg to Score a KO
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Lawrence Greenberg opened from early position and was called by Talal Shakerchi in the big blind.
On the K♥6♦5♦ flop, Greenberg continued for 2,400 before Shakerchi check-raised to 9,000. Greenberg immediately slid his entire stack forward as he was all-in for around 40,000. Shakerchi was uncomfortable with the situation but he shrugged and called to put Greenberg at risk.
Lawrence Greenberg: 8♦7♦ 
Talal Shakerchi: 10♦4♦
Shakerchi was surprisingly ahead with ten-high and had the better of the two flush draws. However, Greenberg hit his open-ender on the 9♠ to take the lead. But, the dealer peeled the Q♦ on the river to give Shakerchi a higher flush as Greenberg was sent to the rail late in the night.
