No Pain, No Gain for Shak

Dan Shak

Dan Shak and two other players each put 2,100 in the pot on a flop of {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. After the turn came the {10-Spades}, Shak checked and the next player checked. The third player bet 4,500. Shak then check-raised to 15,000 while wincing in pain. He's wincing because of his arm that's in a sling due to a broken shoulder from a skiing accident. The next player folded before the player that bet the 4,500 tanked for a couple minutes and then made the call.

The river completed the board with the {K-Hearts} and Shak moved all in, using his one good arm to slide the chips across the line. The other player looked at the dealer and mumbled some complaints about the river card. After a minute or so in the tank, he folded {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs} face up on the table. Shak showed two red sevens for a flopped set and scooped in the pot to move up to 50,000 chips.
