Holz Eliminates Shakerchi

Level 11 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Talal Shakerchi opened for 225,000 under the gun and Jason Koon called on the button. Fedor Holz made it 1.2 million in the small blind and Shakerchi immediately jammed for about 2.15 million. Koon mucked and Holz called, showing {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}. It was a race against {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}.

The {4-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} was a good one for Shakerchi but he waved his hands in frustration when the {a-Spades} hit to give Holz a leading pair of aces. The river was the {5-Spades}, busting Shakerchi.
