Level 23
: 12,000/24,000, 2,000 ante
First in from the hijack seat, Vincent Rubianes opened to 50,000, and Dan Shak three-bet big to 280,000 from the button. Rubianes' response? An all-in four-bet for 578,000. Shak called with his big stack, and the two men were flipping for 1.2 million chips.
Showdown

Shak:
The flop was fine news for Rubianes' bid to double up, catching his pair to take a big lead with two to come. The turn was safe, and the river secured his double up, knocking Shak down to 1.32 million.
