Shakerchi Climbing the Ladder

Daniel Colman raises to 2,700 under the gun, and he finds four callers.

The flop comes 765, and Colman continues out with a bet of 7,000. Talal Shakerchi calls from the hijack seat, Michael Singh calls from the button, and both blinds fold.

The three remaining players see the turn bring the K, and Colman checks this time. Shakerchi takes his cue to bet 16,300, Singh folds, and Colman calls.

The river is the 5, and both players check.

Shakerchi tables 99, and his nines up are the best. Colman mucks.

Shakerchi is the most aggressive player so far at this nine-handed table, and he’s seen his stack swell close to 300,000 as a result.
