Shakerchi Wins with Eights
Level 15
: 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
Just after the dinner break one of the hands at the secondary feature table went all the way to the showdown. Anatoly Gurtovoy raised to 52,000 on the button and Talal Shakerchi defended his big blind by making the call.
The flop went and Gurtovoy continued for 50,000 and Shakerchi called again. Both checked the turn and the river bringing the hand to showdown.
Gurtovoy flipped and Shakerchi opened the winning pair and collected the pot.
