Shak Raises Hellmuth "With Just an Eight"
Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 18,000 ante
Dan Shak raised to 30,000 under the gun and John Monnette called in the hijack. Phil Hellmuth also came along from the big blind.
Hellmuth and Monnette drew one, while Shak stood pat. Hellmuth then led out for 50,000, and Shak raised to 400,000.
Monnette folded, while Hellmuth flashed a 9-7 as he mucked. Shak showed an 8-7.
"You raised with just an eight?" Hellmuth asked him.
"You're really asking me if I raised with just an eight. Make sure that makes the blog. That I raised with just an eight," Shak replied.
