Break Again
Here's hoping it's the last one of the night.
Shak Gets It In, Gets It Out Again
The flop read 
when all the chips went in, Dan Shak all in for his tournament life.
Shak: 
Bell: 
Bell was in the lead with his aces, and Shak needed to hit something serious to get a piece of the pot.
Turn: 
Shak stood up to leave.
River: 
Shak sat back down again as he made a low to get half the pot. They duly chopped it up, and headed off on break.
Sudden Action as Bell Takes the Lead
Both players limped and checked their way to the turn of a 
board when Chris Bell bet out 100,000. Dan Shak now raised pot. Back to Bell, who reraised to 960,000 with just 700,000 behind. Everyone crowded around the table.
But after Shak had spent a few moments pulling faces, he folded and the heads up continued.
Shak is down to 1.5 million after that Bell is up to 2.6 million.
Stalling
What had been a fairly energetic, active Day 3 of this tournament has really ground down now that there are only wo players left. Dan Shak and Chris Brown are both taking an incredibly cautious, small-ball approach to trying to close out the match. Absent any coolers, we'll probably be here until the blinds become more prohibitively expensive.
The blinds are scheduled to go up momentarily.
It's Country O'Clock
Someone at the rail is now playing country music on their phone for entertainment or perhaps to help keep them awake at this late hour. Either way it is giving the otherwise deserted Amazon Room a surreal air of tinny jauntiness, like a truck stop around about dawn when you've been driving all night. Everyone who is still awake seems to be rather enjoying it.
Three-Bet!
Chris Bell raised his button, but Dan Shak reraised pot from the big blind. There were a few tense moments while Bell considered his options, but he eventually folded, looking slightly unwell.
Shak Shuts Down
Pre-flop raises have been rare since we started heads-up. Dan Shak did just raise his button to 180,000, with Chris Bell calling. Bell checked and called another 200,000 on a flop of 
. That call was enough to cause Shak to completely shut down. Both players checked the turn and the 
river. At showdown Bell showed three jacks, 
, to claim the pot.
Gavin Smith Says
Dan Shak wandered over to chat to Nick Binger at the rail. Gavin Smith did not approve.
"Talk to Michael, Dan! Nick doesn't even know how to play this game!"
