First Big Pot of the Day Goes to Shak
Level 23
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Action folded around to Patrik Antonius on the button and he opened for 60,000, which Dan Shak called from the small blind. The big got out of the way and it was heads-up action to the 
flop.
Shak was first to act and checked, which opened the door for Antonius to continue for 75,000. Shak responded with a check-raised to 225,000, Antonius three-bet to 425,000, and Shak called. When the dealer burned and turned the 
, Shak tossed out seven blue T100,000 chips for a bet of 700,000. Antonius stared down his opponent and then thought for about a minute before gently flicking his cards to the muck.
