Shak Gets Played Back At
Level 18
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
We just caught bits of two hands involving Dan Shak. On the first one, he and Thomas Hoglund Jr. took a flop, and Shak checked. Hoglund Jr. bet 25,000, Shak check-raised to 75,000, and Hoglund Jr. shoved for 345,000 total. Shak took his time considering before he said, "I'm going to make a big fold," flashed the , and mucked.
The next time we looked back at the table, Shak was leading out with 40,000 chips on a flop. It was a battle of the blinds, and big blind Corey Hochman raised to 100,000 straight. Shak, looking a little grumpy now, eventually surrendered again, and he's slipped back a bit to 455,000 with those two losses. Hochman flashed the as the dealer pushed him the pot.
