Shakerchi Wins With Kings

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante

There was well over 5,000 in the middle of the table already and the {10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop had been dealt. The player in the big blind checked his option and Thomas Pomponio checked behind in the hijack. Talal Shakerchi sat in the next seat in the cutoff and he bet 2,700. The player in the big blind got out of the way and Pomponio stuck around.

The turn was the {7-Clubs} and it checked to Shakerchi again. He now fired a bet of 6,600 and it didn't take too long for Pomponio to call the bet. The {7-Diamonds} completed the board and both players checked quickly.

Pomponio showed {j-}{j-} but that wasn't enough to take the pot against the {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} of Shakerchi.
