Shak Takes the Lead
Level 23
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Nikolaos Lampropoulos limped the small blind and Dan Shak checked his option in the big blind.
Following a flop of 9♦7♥3♦, Lampropoulos checked and subsequently called a bet worth 300,000 by Shak.
The same action repeated on the 7♠ turn albeit for 800,000 and Lampropoulos then checked the A♣ river.
Shak bet 2,000,000 and earned the pot without showdown, flipping over his J♠9♠9♥4♥ for nines full of sevens.
"Oh, I thought you show me a bluff, only one nine," the Greek said from the other side of the table.
"No, no, two of them, nines full," Shak reiterated.
