Shak Sends One Out
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 3,000 ante
Dan Shak sat in the big blind and was up against an all-in opponent on the button, who was at risk for his stack of 55,000. Shak stood pat and his opponent drew one.
Button: 8x7x4x3x
Dan Shak: 9x8x7x4x2x
The button peeled a 9x. "We chop," stated Shak, but he had misread his opponent's hand. Shak pipped the player on the button instead, and he was sent home late on Day 1.
