"The Good News Is It's Still Rebuy"

Level 5 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

We're not sure how the action unfolded, but we do know that Talal Shakerchi, who if you recall finished as the Day 1 chip leader in the $100,000 Super High Roller only to fall short of a cash, got his stack all in preflop and was in great shape to double against Bill Perkins.

Perkins:
Shakerchi:

Shakerchi was looking to dodge a nine, but that proved easier said than done when the flop delivered Perkins a full house. Neither the turn nor river was the ace Shakerchi was looking for, and he was eliminated from the tournament.

"The good news is it's still rebuy," Perkins offered.

Level 5 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Before the break, on a flop we saw three players check and [Removed:17] bet 11,000 from the button. Only Paul Volpe called, and on the turn the hit.

Volpe checked again and Yan bet 20,000 after which Volpe moved all in. Yan called to put himself at risk for about 60,000 total, and Volpe showed for a set.
