We just posted about the news from the Twitter world in regards to Dan Shak and Todd Terry playing a big pot. Shak was kind enough to let us know that the hand involved with Terry was a blind-versus-blind battle where the two raised back and forth to get all the money in preflop. Shak had pocket jacks and Terry pocket kings. Shak was able to spike a jack on the turn to win the pot and send Terry to the rail.
