Shakerchi Moves Up
Level 25
Seven Card Stud
Talal Shakerchi: K♣J♥/10♠9♥7♠J♠
Matthew Ashton: 10♥7♥/Q♥6♣7♣A♠ - folded sixth street
James Obst: 9♦7♦/4♠ - folded bring-in
After talal Shakerchi completed James Obst's bring-in, Matthew Ashton again made it two bets to go with three to a flush. Obst folded and Shakerchi again called.
On fourth street, Shakerchi picked up a card that Ashton could have used and the players both checked.
Fifth street saw each player pick up sevens, which paired Ashton to give him the lead. The players checked again to get to sixth street where Shakerchi paired his jack to make the best hand.
This time after a check from Ashton, Shakerchi now bet and Ashton folded, sending Shakerchi more firmly into second place.
