Small One for Cabret

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante

Joseph Cabret opened to 120,000 from under the gun, Dan Shak called in the big blind, and the flop fell {q-Spades}{k-Hearts}{a-Clubs}. Both players checked.

The turn was the {6-Spades}, the two checked again, and the {5-Spades} completed the board.

Shak check-called a 100,000-chip bet, and Cabret tabled his cards. We don't know what they were, but Shak flashed {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for a lesser hand, then mucked.

Antonius Continues to Chip Up

Level 25 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante

Given our limited access to the final table, we're not always able to catch all the details, which was the case with this hand.

We picked up the action on a {5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} flop which is where Patrik Antonius, who was in the big blind, check-called a bet of 155,000 from Mervin Chan on the button. Antonius then turned right around and led out for 275,000 on the {5-Clubs} turn, Chan called, and the {10-Hearts} completed the board on the river. Antonius took his time before sliding out a bet of 625,000, and after about a minute's worth of thought, Chan called.

We didn't see the hole cards, but believe the dealer said Antonius had a five. Whatever the case, Chan mucked and the pot was pushed to the Finn.

Cabret Moves All in and Shak Calls

Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Patrik Antonius opened for 160,000 from the cutoff and Dan Shak called from the button. Joseph Cabret then moved all in from the small blind for roughly 1 million, Antonius folded, and Shak made a reluctant call.

Shak: {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}
Cabret: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

Shak literally shook his head upon seeing that Cabret was way out in front, but the {3-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop gave him pause as he picked up a flush draw. Unfortunately for him, and much to Cabret's fortune, neither the {5-Spades} turn nor {2-Diamonds} river completed it.
