Fortunate Draws Secure Double for Shakerchi

Level 25
Talal Shakerchi
Talal Shakerchi

Limit 2-7 Triple Draw

James Obst raised out of the small blind with the QxJx8x7x5x and Talal Shakerchi defended the KxKx4x4x2x.

Obst discarded two and Shakerchi took three, which gave Obst the Ax8x7x6x5x and Shakerchi the 7x7x5x4x2x. Obst bet and Shakerchi raised for Obst to call.

Obst discarded one and so did Shakerchi, which then gave Obst the 9x8x7x6x5x for a straight. Shakerchi had improved to the 7x6x5x4x2x and Obst checked, then sigh-called the all-in of Shakerchi.

Obst discarded the eight but it didn't matter anymore as the patted number two of Shakerchi had already locked up the double.
