. The board ran out 
and Haxton slightly had Kirsch covered.
Across the room, Bryn Kenney opened to 12,000 from the hijack and Dan Shak three-bet to 60,000 from the cutoff. Daniel Negreanu was in the big blind and four-bet shoved all in for 322,000. Kenney quickly got out of the way and Shak made the call. Negreanu turned over 
and Shak was behind with 
.
The flop came 
and Negreanu was still in good shape to win the hand. The 
on the turn gave Shak a flush draw and the 
on the river completed the flush for him. Shak had Negreanu covered by a couple thousand and took down a huge pot to move into the chip lead.
