Shak Shoves the River

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

Action folded to Dan Shak in the cutoff and he raised to 2,300. Ryan McEathron three-bet to 6,300 from the button and Shak called.

The flop came {Q-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and Shak checked. McEathron bet 5,200 and Shak called.

The {6-Spades} fell on the turn and both players checked.

The {10-Diamonds} fell on the river and Shak jammed for what looked like 28,800. McEathron folded and Shak took the pot.

Pollak Makes a Quick Appearance

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

Benjamin Pollak just entered the tournament during the dinner break and has seen his first entry burn in flames already. Chris Hunichen opened from the hijack and Benjamin Pollak three-bet to 8,000 from the cutoff. The action folded back around to Hunichen who four-bet shipped all in. Pollak would be the player at risk and took a moment to think.

"I faded the snap-call," Hunichen said with a laugh.

Pollak did end up calling and it was a race scenario. Pollak held the {j-Spades}{j-Hearts} and Hunichen showed the {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}. The flop came {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{3-Spades} and Hunichen quickly took the lead. He wouldn't look back either as the {10-Diamonds} and {5-Spades} completed the board.

Pollak headed for the cash cage to get his second bullet and should return shortly.

Fury of Entries Coming Back From Dinner

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

There was quite a line at the registration table when the players returned to their seats from dinner. Relaxed and fueled up, Orpen Kisacikoglu, Oleksii Khoroshenin, Jonathan Concepcion, Andre Akkari, and Roman Hajiyev have fired their second bullet.

The break also brought interest in Richard Kirsch, Jose Gonzales Oliver Wiess, and Benjamin Pollak who are now seated with their first bullet in play.

On the flip side, Ivan Luca was lost just before the break but does have until the start of the day tomorrow to fire again.

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

There were about 16,000 chips in the middle and the board read {6-Spades}{4-Spades}{4-Hearts}{6-Clubs} when we got to the table. Byron Kaverman bet 11,000 from the big blind and Daniel Negreanu called from the hijack.

The {3-Spades} fell on the river and Kaverman bet 13,000, leaving himself just under 18,000 behind. Negreanu shoved and Kaverman went into the tank. He used four time bank slips before he ultimately folded and Negreanu took the pot.

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante

The turn brought the {8-Spades} and Negreanu bet again, 7,000 this time. Kaverman called once more.

The {A-Clubs} fell on the river and Negreanu bet 12,000. Kaverman folded and the dealer pushed the pot to Negreanu.

Hunichen Tames the Wolff

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante

Chris Hunichen moved all in on the river of a {7-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{k-Hearts} board putting pressure on his heads-up opponent George Wolff. Hunichen had Wolff covered and after a moment of deliberation, Wolff made the call.

Hunichen tabled the {7-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} filling up on the river and Wolff's {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades} was no match.

Petrangelo Five-Bet Ships on Riess

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante

Ryan Riess opened to 2,000 from the cutoff and was called by Jeff Gross on the button. Nick Petrangelo three-bet to 9,500 from the small blind and the action was back on Riess. After going through one of his time extensions, Riess four-bet to 24,200. Gross mucked his cards and Petrangelo announced all in, having Riess covered. The former WSOP Main Event champion quickly folded and sent a good chunk of chips across the table.
