There was 22,000 in the pot on the flop of 
and action checked over to Dan Shak, who moved all in for about 10,000. James Calderaro called before the third player in the hand made a raise to 45,000. Calderaro then dropped into the tank.
"I got a hand here," Calderaro said peeping his cards a few times. He eventually settled on a fold and that meant Shak and his opponent would turn up their cards.
Dan Shak: 
Opponent: 
Shak was behind as his opponent flopped two pair and a low already but he still had some outs to a flush.
The turn was the 
which gave Shak a few more outs as he made two pair as well and the river was the 
. That gave him the flush and earned him half the pot.
Calderaro later said that he had a higher flush draw than Shak and had he called, Shak would've been eliminated.
"Shak, the unkillable," Robert Campbell said after the hand from a few seats over. "You've got dragon's blood."
