Shak Gets Three-Quarters From Blom; Ray Waves Weisman Off
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Viktor Blom raised to 40,000 on the button. Dan Shak then three-bet to 135,000 in the small blind, and Blom called.
The chips immediately flew in on the 6♦8♥3♠ flop, with Shak's stack of 545,000 being at risk.
Dan Shak: A♥5♥3♥3♣2♠
Viktor Blom: A♣10♥8♠2♥2♦
Shak had flopped a set and improved to a straight on the 10♣4♣ runout. Blom was returned a quarter of the pot as he shared the nut low with Shak, and the chips were rearranged accordingly.
A few minutes before, Joshua Ray had eliminated Dylan Weisman from this table, seeing Ray eclipse the million-mark in chips.
