Dan Shak made a play at the pot. In lots of scenarios, his play would have worked. But today he made his move at the wrong time.

Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier opened the preflop action with a button raise to 9,000. Shak, sitting in the big blind, was the only caller. On a flop of {6-Spades}

, Shak checked to Grospellier, who bet 12,500. Shak immediately announced, "I'm all in." Grospellier snap-called and tabled {6-Diamonds}

for a set of sixes, prompting Shak to glumly add, "I'm all gone." He showed {K-Clubs}

, which was drawing dead after the turn {3-Spades}

. The river {8-Clubs}

cemented Shak's loss.

When the stacks were counted down, Grospellier had Shak covered by a single blue (500) chip. Shak stood up, grabbed his belongings, and headed to the payout counter. Grospellier now has 292,000.
