Shak Attack?

Dan Shak's been leading through most of this Day 3 and isn't about to let Joe Ritzie steal his thunder. Ritzie limped in late position, with Shak checking the big blind. On a flop of {5-Hearts}{q-Spades}{3-Diamonds}, Shak checked and called a bet of 60,000 from the flush-with-chips Ritzie.

The turn paired the board {5-Clubs}. We don't know whether that was a "good card" or a "bad card" for our two combatants. What we do know is that Shak checked and called another 105,000 from Ritzie. But when the river fell {7-Hearts}, Shak led into Ritzie for 150,000. What to do, what to do. Ritzie eventually folded, allowing Shak to claim the pot uncontested and to become the second player to more than a million in chips. In fact, he has 1.1 million.
