Shak Check-shoves the Flop

donpeters

Gus Hansen was acting out of early position when he raised to 12,500. Tony Bloom made the call in middle position and then Dan Shak called from the big blind. The three players went to a flop and saw the dealer place the {A-Hearts}

across the middle of the felt.

Shak was first to act and checked. Hansen slowed down from his preflop aggression and checked as well. Action fell over to Bloom and he fired in a bet of 24,000. Shak then moved all in for 85,500. Hansen folded and after a tank for about 15 seconds, Bloom let his hand go.

Shak improved to 145,000 with that pot.
