Shakerchi Pays Off Aces
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
A player opened to 7,000 from early position and was called by Talal Shakerchi in middle position as well as Pedro Oliveira in the big blind.
Action checked to Shakerchi on the Q♣10♦Q♠ flop and he bet out 7,000. Both of his opponents called to keep things three-handed heading to the turn.
Oliveira checked again following the 2♣ turn, prompting the early position player to fire off 22,000. Shakerchi opted to flat while Oliveira vacated the pot.
The early position player bet once more after the 2♦ river completed the board. Shakerchi thought for a moment, then called only to muck as his opponent flipped over A♥A♦ to put a dent in the British businessman's stack.
