Shak Quartered by Hollink

[user75032]

The play is tightening, with most pre-flop raises of the minimum variety. Rob Hollink opened with a raise from the small blind. Big blind Dan Shak re-raised and soon enough all of Hollink's chips were at risk. He showed {a-Spades} {3-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {k-Clubs} to Shak's {a-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {q-Spades} .

"Put a couple of diamonds up there," Shak said. Instead the dealer put up {5-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {k-Diamonds} , giving Hollink two pair, kings and fives. He also flopped the nut low draw. The turn and river came {6-Diamonds} and {3-Clubs} , giving each player a live ace for low but also securing the high half for Hollink.
