Shak Starts Off Strong

Beth Shak is in the Orange Section today, playing at a table near the rail. Shak was one of three players who paid 250 chips to take a flop of {3-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {6-Spades}. She check-called the late-position player's bet of 500 chips and was heads-up to the {10-Diamonds} turn. When that card hit, Shak led into her opponent for 1,000. He made the call.

The river fell {9-Clubs}. Shak made another sizable bet of 1,500 chips. Her opponent folded.
