Shakerchi Wins a Big One Early
Level 1
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Talal Shakerchi and David Einhorn wasted no time getting right into the action as they decided to play a big pot in the early going. The completed board read 
and the pot already had around 2,600,000 in the middle.
Einhorn checked from the small blind and Shakerchi tossed in a casual bet of 1,725,000. Einhorn quickly threw in one of his time extensions and used up one more before a decision would be made. He eventually slid his cards to the muck and Shakerchi raked in a healthy pot to begin the day.
