Talal Shakerchi opened under the gun with a raise to 26,000. Action folded around and Jason Koon defended his big blind with a call.

The flop was {K-Spades}{8-Spades}{4-Hearts} and both players checked to the {K-Diamonds} on the turn. There, Shakerchi put out a bet of 30,000 after a check from Koon. Koon called.

The river was the {3-Clubs} and both players checked again. Koon showed down {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for ace-high, but Sharkechi had him pipped with {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds}.

Sharkerchi is off to a hot start here in the Big One for One Drop winning seemingly every pot and he's chipped up close to seven million early here on Day 1.
