After Kristopher Tong opened in the hijack with 5♥3♥3♠2♦, James Obst made it two bets in the cutoff with A♠K♠4♠2♠. Talal Shakerchi there made it three on the button with A♣Q♠8♣2♣.

Tong folded, but Obst called to see the K♣A♥J♥ flop. The players checked, and the K♦ on the turn gave Obst kings full of aces. Obst bet and Shakerchi called.

Obst continued betting on the 8♠ river and after some thought, Shakerchi put a call in front of Obst who would gather that and every other bet from this hand

Omaha Hi-Lo

Matthew Ashton raised with the A♥J♥7♠6♦ and Talal Shakerchi three-bet with the A♣K♦5♠3♦ in the small blind. Brian Rast pondered about it with A♠Q♠10♥9♣ in the big blind but folded while Ashton called. On the Q♣7♣6♠ flop, Shakerchi checked and Ashton bet for his fellow countryman to call behind.

The J♦ turn saw Shakerchi check-call a bet and he did so again on the J♣ river, albeit very reluctantly with the ace-king high for a pure bluff catcher. Ashton, however, had jacks full of sixes and scooped the pot.
