A Set for Shak

Level 3 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Popular poker wisdom is that showing your cards when you don't have to is bad as you give your opponents free information. Well thankfully that memo hasn't reached Monte Carlo and we like that as it gives us more information to report.

In a recent hand at table 10 Yaqi Sun made it 50,000 to play and he picked up calls from Rick Salomon (button) and Dan Shak (big blind). The action kicked up a notch on the {2-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop as Sun continued for 100,000, Salomon called and Shak then check-raised to 400,000 total. There followed quick folds from both his opponent's and as Shak took the pot he showed {2-Spades}{2-Hearts} for a flopped set.
