Level 6

Aaron Katz

No-Limit Hold'em

With about 65,000 in the pot on the river of a {10-Hearts}{j-Spades}{10-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} board, Dan Shak checked and Aaron Katz fired a big bet worth 55,000. Shak snap-called and painfully mucked his {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} when Katz announced "jack," tabling the {j-Hearts}{7-Hearts} turning a full house to crack Shak's pocket kings.

Pollak Busts Bleznick to Take Top Spot

Level 6

No-Limit Hold'em

The dust had settled at the table where Benjamin Pollak and formerly Jared Bleznick were seated by the time we got to the table. Bleznick was leaving the table and Pollak was adding some fresh ammunition to his already monstrous stack.

With the pot, Pollak is now in the top spot of the chip counts.
