Level 22

Talal "raidalot" Shakerchi made it 53,500 to go which was called by Michael "merla888" Gathy on the button. Chip leader Preben "prebz" Stokkan three-bet to 242,000 in the big blind and Shakerchi quickly called, Gathy did so after some consideration.
On a 
flop, Stokkan led for 207,720 and that was called only by Shakerchi.
The 
followed on the turn and Stokkan now slowed down, which triggered a bet of 422,438 by Shakerchi and resulted in a call by the Norwegian.
That's all she wrote as the 
river was checked and Stokkan tabled 
, which Shakerchi had beat with the 
.
