I'm All Shak Up!

It's fairly difficult to see what's happening on the feature table, but we just caught the end of a hand between Phil Ivey and Dan Shak in a large pot.

board against Dan Shak. Shak made the call but then folded to a 25,000 bet on the {3-Clubs}

river.

Level: 2

Blinds: 500/1,000

Ante: 0

Hansen Playing Tighter?

donpeters

After calling a raise preflop from John Juanda, Gus Hansen folded to a single bet on the flop.

"The new and improved Gus Hansen," commented Juanda. "Must have been a New Year's resolution that you remember."

"I made plans to play tight in the first two levels," responded Gus. "Hasn't worked out so far."
