On a flop of {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{Q-Spades}

Karib Karib opened the betting with an 800 bet from the cutoff. Dan Shak re-pops it to 2,800 from the big blind and Karib calls.

The turn is the {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

and Shak leads out for a 3,000 chip bet. Karib thinks and calls once again.

The river brings the {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

and both players check it down.

Karib shows {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{J-Hearts}

for flopped two pair but Shak had flopped a straight with his {K-Spades}

which is good to win the pot. Karib slips to 16,000 while Shak is now up to 34,000 chips.
