Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

Dani Stern raised to 900 from the button, the small blind folded but Dan Shak three-bet to 2,500 from his seat in the big blind. Stern tossed in the extra calling chips and the dealer spread the flop.

Shak kept up his aggression with a continuation bet and Stern folded instantly. Shak flipped over as he raked in the pot.
