Dan Shak raised to 37,000 from under the gun and action folded all the way around to Jonathan "xMONSTERxDONGx" Karamalikis in the big blind. He made the call.

The flop came down {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{3-Diamonds}

{2-Hearts}

and Shak bet 70,000 after Karamalikis checked. Karamalikis moved all in and Shak called.

Karamalikis: {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

Shak:

{A-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

The turn card was the {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

and gave Shak a flush draw. The river was the {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

though and no club for Shak. The two players chopped up the pot.

"You don't wanna win like that," said Phil Ivey to Shak.
