Dan Shak: J♠6♠3♦ / Q♠A♣5♠2♥

The action was already on seventh street when Ali Eslami bet and Yuval Bronshtein raised. Maksim Pisarenko called, Dan Shak then made it three bets and that sent some chuckles across the table.

"I fuckin' love this game," James Cheung exclaimed.

Meanwhile Ray Fishman told the live reporting team, "you are at the right table."

Eslami was still in the tank and then made it four bets. Bronshtein called, while Pisarenko murmured, "how can I fold?" before tossing in calling chips for the four-bet.

Shak then five-bet all in for another 4,000 on top and everyone called.

Shak tabled his six-five-three low with a missed spade flush draw, while Eslami had said flush king-high. Bronshtein exposed a six-five-four low and was scooped, as was Pisarenko who was then on his phone before the table broke.

"If I hit another spade, I would scoop," Shak told Fishman while Eslami on the other side of the table pointed out he had the superior king-high spade.

"He is gonna put a hit on somebody," Fishman joked before everyone moved to their new seats.
