Dan Shak opened with a raise to 800 from under the gun. Anatoly Zuev was on the button and he reraised, three-betting to 2,200. Shak called and the two headed to a flop.
On the flop, Shak checked over to Zuev who bet 2,500. Shak called after giving it some thought.
The turn was the and this time Shak decided to lead out, making it 5,500. Zuev thought for a bit then called.
The river was the and Shak counted his chips for about a minute before making another bet, this time for 6,000. Zuev thought for a while then decided to just call. Shak showed his for just two pair, but it was no good. Zuev was holding for trips. Shak lost nearly half of his stack in that pot while Zuev capitalized and added to his stack.
Cliff Josephy said he just didn't have the patience today. He tweeted about his bustout from the PCA Main Event after a rough first few levels.
In Bahamas for PCA. Semi-bluffed off all my chips in level 4 for absolutely no reason in the 10k Main Event today,… https://t.co/Hlc0xJKh8o

A few tables over Joseph Cheong, fresh off his victory in PokerStars Sunday Supersonic for $30,939, also busted from the tournament as well. Cheong had lost most of his stack before the first break and proceeded to get rid of the rest of it before the second.
On a flop of Mike Leah and Guilhereme Lima were facing off. Lima checked over to Leah on the button who put out a bet of 1,200 and Lima called.
The turn was the and Lima checked over to Leah. Leah bet 3,000 and Lima called again.
The river was the and Lima checked for a third time. Leah put out a bet of 8,000 and Lima dropped into the tank. He thought for nearly a minute before calling Leah's bet. Leah showed and Lima quickly mucked his hand, allowing Leah to take down the pot.
With about 5,000 chips already in the pot and the board reading action checked to Mike Leah in middle position. He bet 2,000, and Gary Hasson, who was next to act, shoved for 6,100. Action folded around to Leah and he called to put Hasson at risk.
Leah:
Hasson:
Hasson had the lead with top two pair and Leah needed to improve in order to win the pot. The on the turn gave Hasson a boat and left Leah drawing dead. The fell on the river to give Leah the nut flush, but it was irrelevant, and Hasson took the pot to double up.
From the hijack seat, Christopher Kruk opened with a raise to 900. Action folded to the button where Sergio Cabrera reraised, three-betting to 3,100. Action folded back to Kruk who put in a four-bet, making it 8,800. Cabrera then re-raised, making it 15,000. Kruk thought for a bit, then moved all in with his covering stack and Cabrera called.
Kruk:
Cabrera:
Kruk shook his head upon seeing the cards. He failed to improve on the flop, as well as the turn and the river. That forced him to send over nearly 40,000 to Cabrera who doubled up while Kruk was still left with right around 50,000, despite losing the big pot.
