Shak Came to Play
Phil Ivey has been in pretty much every single pot today, and it apparently didn't take Dan Shak too long to figure that out.
A couple hands into his residency at his new table, Shak opened the pot to 6,500, and Ivey quickly tossed out four redbirds for a reraise to 20,000 straight. The table folded back to Shak, and he spent a minute gazing around before four-betting to what looked like 100,000 total. The look he got from Ivey -- we can only hope the cameraman filming it got a good shot. Ivey shot a long stare to his right as if Shak had just misbehaved badly. There was quick, good-natured exchange of a few comments, though we couldn't hear what was said.
Ivey looked away; it was as if he couldn't believe Shak had the moxie to four-bet him. After about a minute, though, Ivey let him have it, and Shak was visibly a bit shaky as he pulled the pot back into his stack.
