We missed the hand play out, but we do know that three players saw a 
flop and Shak was the only one to check-call a bet from Christian Christner.
The turn and river both brought clubs, and Christner ended up coming all in to put the pressure on Shak, who called off for over 100K. Christner showed the 
for air, and Shak rolled over 
for trips and the win.

A short-stacked Sean Winter moved all in for 22,500 under the gun and Dominik Nitsche called from the small blind. Dan Shak folded from the big and the hands were turned up.
Nitsche: 
Winter:
Winter was in great shape to double, but not after the flop came down 
to pair Nitsche. Neither the 
turn nor river was what Winter needed, and he hit the rail here in Level 5.
