Shak Bites Selbst

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 5,000 ante

On the button, Tyler Kenney raised to 140,000. Vanessa Selbst called from the small blind, and Dan Shak came along as well to go three-handed to the flop.

It was {8-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}, and the blinds checked to the raiser. Kenney continued out with a small bet of 160,000. That didn't work; Selbst and Shak both wasted little time calling, and the {9-Diamonds} came on the turn. Selbst checked again, and Shak decided to fire 200,000 at the pot from the big blind. Kenney folded quickly, but Selbst took pause for a couple minutes before check-raising to 750,000 total, a significant chunk of her remaining stack. Shak called without any delay.

The river was the {K-Spades} and Selbst checked. Shak took just a minute to make sure before announcing an all in, and Selbst mucked just as quickly as he'd called her one street earlier.

That was a big blow to Selbst, taking half her stack and knocking her all the way back to 1.27 million.

Shak is on the attack, stacking up 6.96 million chips with well over 50% of the total in play.
