The Shak Check

Level 3 : 200/400, 50 ante
Dan Shak
Dan Shak

On a five-handed Table 33, Dan Shak was first to act and raised to 1,100. His neighbor Stefan Schillhabel called and so did big blind Mikita Badziakouski.

The flop came {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{2-Spades} and Badziakouski checked. Shak bet 1,500 into the pot and just Schillhabel called as Badziakouski folded.

The {6-Clubs} turn saw Shak check. Schillhabel, who's last recorded cash is his win in the WPT Bay 101 Shooting Star in March last year for $1,298,000, bet 1,500. Shak was quick to call.

Both checked the {9-Diamonds} on the river and Shak showed a winner with {A-Clubs}{J-Spades} as Schillhabel mucked.

Salter's Bluff Fails

Level 3 : 200/400, 50 ante

We saw 3,400 go in between Jack Salter (hijack) and Brandon Adams (big blind) on a board of {3-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. The river came the {5-Hearts} and Adams checked. Salter bet a hefty 11,700 but this didn't seem to worry Adams as he called after only about 10 seconds or so. Salter showed {10-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for the missed combo draw, Adams took it down with {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts} for top pair.

Ramage Sends Mo Packing

Level 2 : 100/200, 25 ante
Jason Mo
Jason Mo

In one of the last hands of the level, Jason Mo made his exit. We missed the action but his executioner Grayson Ramage told us afterward what had happened.

According to Ramage, Mo opened the betting to 600. Ramage three-bet to 2,000 followed by a four-bet to 4,700 by Mo. Ramage five-bet to 10,600 and Mo called.

Both of them checked the {A-}{5-}{4-} rainbow flop and they did so too on the {Q-} turn. The river was a {9-} and Mo bet 13,000. Ramage shoved and Mo called with {Q-}{Q-}. Ramage showed {A-}{A-} and Mo was the first one to hit the rail.

Ramage, who won the six-max event here back in 2013 for A$110,000 ($116,127), the early chipleader now with double starting stack.

Petrangelo Ships Chips to D'Angelo

Level 1 : 100/200, 0 ante

While the first level isn't even in the books yet, some players have already parted ways with a big portion of their chips while others have soared early on.

As we walked up to Table 30, Nick Petrangelo had just checked on a flop of {Q-Spades}{8-Spades}{10-Hearts}. Ryan D'Angelo, on the button, bet 2,400 and Petrangelo called. Under the gun player Petrangelo check-called another 6,000 on the {6-Hearts} turn before both checked the {A-Diamonds} on the river. Petrangelo mucked upon being shown {Q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} by D'Angelo.

The next hand, Ryan D'Angelo raised his cutoff and Nick Petrangelo called from the big blind. Petrangelo check-called 1,000 on the {K-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{J-Hearts} flop, 2,600 on the {8-Diamonds} turn and 4,500 on the {9-Diamonds} river. D'Angelo showed {Q-Clubs}{K-Spades} for a straight and Petrangelo mucked again.
