Pollak Tank-Calls With Ace-High, Loses to Shak
Level 15
Omaha 8
Dan Shak raised from the small blind with 
and Benjamin Pollak defended 
. The 
flop gave Shak the nut-flush draw while Pollak had a gutshot along with a low draw. Shak continued and Pollak called.
Shak's dangler made trips on the 
turn and he fired again. Pollak called again.
The 
river saw Shak bet one more time. Pollak had only ace-high but he spent over 50 seconds thinking about his decision. He eventually threw in one chip, calling. He dropped to the bottom of the rankings as Shak leap-frogged into fourth place.
