Shakerchi Rivers Greenberg to Score a KO

Brett Slezak

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Lawrence Greenberg opened from early position and was called by Talal Shakerchi in the big blind.

On the K?6?5? flop, Greenberg continued for 2,400 before Shakerchi check-raised to 9,000. Greenberg immediately slid his entire stack forward as he was all-in for around 40,000. Shakerchi was uncomfortable with the situation but he shrugged and called to put Greenberg at risk.

Lawrence Greenberg: 8?7? All in
Talal Shakerchi: 10?4?

Shakerchi was surprisingly ahead with ten-high and had the better of the two flush draws. However, Greenberg hit his open-ender on the 9? to take the lead. But, the dealer peeled the Q? on the river to give Shakerchi a higher flush as Greenberg was sent to the rail late in the night.
