Daniel Hirsh raised to 35,000 in the cutoff. Dan Shak three-bet small to 75,000 on the button, which Hirsh called.

The 7♣7♥7♦ flop appeared, on which Shak continued for 100,000. Hirsh quickly check-folded, and Shak showed AxAx2x as he raked in the chips.

One hand later, Naoya Kihara got his stack of 357,000 in from the big blind on the 7♦4♥3♦ flop against Shak in the cutoff, and was at risk.

Naoya Kihara: A♠J♦9♥9♦2♥ All in
Dan Shak: A♦A♣6♦5♠2♠

Kihara's flush draw was covered by Shak. The A♥ brought Shak a wheel, making him a big favorite to scoop, and the 4♣ river was no help to Kihara, sending him to the rail.

At another table, Jonathan Krela also busted a few spots from the money.
