Shak Close to Taking Chip Lead
Level 24
Dan Shak: A♦8♥5♥/2♥5♦J♠2♣
Brian Yoon: XxXxXx/Q♥7♠8♠6♦
Dan Shak defended his bring-in after Brian Yoon completed and then called bets on fourth and fifth streets before pairing his door card deuce on sixth street.
Shak now led out and got called by Yoon. On seventh street, the duo played cautiously as they both checked.
Shak declared two pair and showed his fives and deuces which were enough to win the latest in a series of pots that have him close to overtaking Yoon for the chip lead.
