Shak Booms Over 1MM

Igor Kurganov started the action with a raise to 24,000 from under the gun. Masa Kagawa made the call on the button, and action folded over to Dan Shak in the big blind. He also called, creating a three-way pot to the flop.

The flop came down {10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, and Shak checked. Kurganov bet 50,000, but Kagawa opted to raise it up to 150,000. Shak looked at the dealer and announced that he was all in — a bet worth 462,000. Kurganov folded, and Kagawa snap-called.

Shak tabled the {8-Spades}{7-Clubs} for the flopped nuts. Kagawa had flopped top two pair with the {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and needed to fill up to win the hand.

The turn was the {J-Diamonds}, keeping Shak in front. The river completed the board with the {4-Spades}, and Shak's hand held up.

Shak doubled to over 1 million in chips, while Kagawa was kicked all the way back to 325,000.
