Shak Takes a Seat, Immediately Snaps the River For Big Pot
Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Dan Shak had only taken his seat in the tournament after the break before getting involved in a big pot. With the board showing Q?J?K?3?, Shak checked his big blind and a player in the hijack bet 27,000.
Shak quickly tossed in the chips to call as the Q? fell on the river. Shak checked again and his opponent fired out 75,000. Shak again snap-called as the hijack dejectedly turned over 8?7? for a missed flush draw. Shak showed A?K? for two pair, kings and queens, to take the pot.
