Shak Takes a Seat, Immediately Snaps the River For Big Pot
Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Dan Shak had only taken his seat in the tournament after the break before getting involved in a big pot. With the board showing Q♦J♠K♦3♥, Shak checked his big blind and a player in the hijack bet 27,000.
Shak quickly tossed in the chips to call as the Q♥ fell on the river. Shak checked again and his opponent fired out 75,000. Shak again snap-called as the hijack dejectedly turned over 8♦7♦ for a missed flush draw. Shak showed A♥K♠ for two pair, kings and queens, to take the pot.
