Shakerchi Off to a Hot Start

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

In the very first hand of the day, Dominik Nitsche pushed all in for 6,500 in early position and Nicholas Palma quickly moved in over the top for 15,100 on his left. Talal Shakerchi came into the day as the chip leader and made the call from the small blind to put both players at risk.

Talal Shakerchi: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Nicholas Palma: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}
Dominik Nitsche: {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

The flop came {9-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts} to leave Palma in the lead with the only pair thus far. The {9-Hearts} on the turn changed nothing but Shakerchi managed to spike the {j-Spades} on the river to score the double knockout.
