Shack-Harris Eliminates Song to Take Over Chip Lead
Pot-Limit Omaha
We saw Brandon Shack-Harris, who won his first WSOP gold bracelet this summer and is in contention for Player of the Year, sitting with a big stack of 400,000. He was kind enough to fill us in on how he got a good portion of them.
As he told it, Kevin Song opened for 3,500 and Shack-Harris called. James Obst called from the big blind and three players saw a flop of ![]()

with two diamonds. Obst checked, Song bet the pot, and Shack-Harris made it 35,000 to go. Obst folded, Song shoved for roughly 100,000 total, and Shack-Harris made a quick call.
Shack-Harris: ![]()

Song: ![]()

Song got it in with top two pair, while Shack-Harris held aces with a flush draw. The
turn gave him the said flush, and the
river failed to pair Song. That resulted in Song hitting the rail and Shack-Harris vaulting to the top of the chip counts.
