Shak Risks It All

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Dan Shak opened to 500,000 from middle position before a player on the button three-bet to 1,400,000. The blinds got out of the way to send the action back to Shak who, after only a little hesitation, moved all in for around 6,000,000. That sent the button player deep into the tank but, with a look of reluctance, he did eventually release his hand to send the pot over to Shak.

Big Blind Player: A♦4♣
Carmen Raiche-Marsden: K♦K♠

Raiche-Marsden was in a good spot to scoop the pot and the bounty and did just that after the board ran out 3♦2♠6♥K♣8♥.

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Tyler Brown opened from middle position to 435,000 only to be met by the button who shoved all in for their remaining 2,300,000. The big blind, however, did not see the all-in and simply called the original open from Brown. Once informed of this all-in the floor was called to explain to the player in the big blind that he had to either call the all-in or forfeit the 435,000 that lay out in front of him and fold.

Settling on the latter, Tyler called off the jam and both players' hands went to showdown.

Button: K♠8♠
Tyler Brown: K♥Q♦

The board ran out 7♠3♥Q♠2♥2♠ sending the pot, made larger by the player in the big blind, to Brown.

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

There was an early position jam and Terrence Schehen rejammed. It folded to the big blind who thought for over a minute before putting in the call. With the cards on their back we saw it was a race.

Early Position: 7♥7♣
Big Blind: A♣Q♠
Terrence Schehen: 6♣6♦

The 3♠A♥J♣ flop catapulted the big blind into the lead. The 8♣ turn brought no help but the 6♠ river landed like a bomb, blowing the small stacks out of the tournament. Schehen scored a double knockout and two bounties.

Player	Chips	Progress
Terrence Schehen	8,100,000 7,265,000	7,265,000
Dan Shak	6,500,000 4,100,000	4,100,000

A player in the cutoff attacked Akira Hashimoto's big blind with a raise to 275,000. In response, Hashimoto came over the top and piled the rest of his stack into the middle for 1,800,000. After some time in the tank the opponent made the call.

Akira Hashimoto: A♥7♥
Cutoff: 7♣7♠

The pocket sevens were in dominating position heading to a flop and remained that way as the board ran out 4♠2♣2♦J♣10♦, a safe board for Hashimoto as he doubled up.
