Third Time Not a Charm for Dan Shak

Level 7 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

Dan Shak, the winner of this event back in 2010 when he defeated Phil Ivey for the title, has just been eliminated for the third time after he reentered twice.

On this final hand for Shak, he was all in from early position for 7,200. Mike Watson reraised from the cutoff seat to 11,600, and everyone else folded. Shak showed the {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and was up against the {K-Clubs}{J-Hearts} for Watson.

The flop, turn, and river ran out {7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}, and Shak was done in by the king on the river. Whether or not he'll return with a fourth bullet will be determined in time, and we'll keep you posted.

Reinkemeier KO's Juanda

Level 7 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

When we reached the table, John Juanda led out for 10,000 on a board of {5-Spades}{9-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{10-Spades}. His opponent, Tobias Reinkemeier, called, and the {q-Clubs} completed the board.

Juanda led out again - this time for 27,000 - and Reinkemeier cashed in one of his time bank chips. As the dealer fidgeted with the clock at the table, the German moved all in for effectively 80,000 or so. Juanda made the call, and Reinkemeier showed {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs} for the nut straight.

The dealer started to count down Juanda's stack, then quickly learned that Reinkemeier had him covered. Juanda hit the rail, while Reinkemeier is up to nearly 200,000 chips.

Gruissem Scoops One from Negreanu

Level 7 : 1,500/3,000, 300 ante

From the hijack seat, Antonio Esfandiari raised to 7,100. Daniel Negreanu reraised on the button to 18,500, then action moved over to Philipp Gruissem in the big blind. He thought for a minute, then reraised to 40,000 even. Esfandiari folded, but Negreanu quickly called to see a flop.

The dealer spread out the {K-Spades}{7-Spades}{7-Clubs}, and Gruissem checked. Negreanu bet 12,000, and Gruissem called.

The turn was the {7-Hearts}, and both players checked to see the {8-Hearts} land on the river. Gruissem bet 30,000, and Negreanu folded.
