We just posted about the news from the Twitter world in regards to Dan Shak and Todd Terry playing a big pot. Shak was kind enough to let us know that the hand involved with Terry was a blind-versus-blind battle where the two raised back and forth to get all the money in preflop. Shak had pocket jacks and Terry pocket kings. Shak was able to spike a jack on the turn to win the pot and send Terry to the rail.

The player party was last night which may have left some of the players worse for the wear. But, it didn't stop the start of the WSOPE 2012 Main Event!
