Shak's Kicker Makes the Difference

Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Mervin Chan opened for 160,000 from the cutoff and Dan Shak defended from the big blind. Both players checked the {10-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop and then Shak check-called a bet of 160,000 on the {8-Diamonds} turn. Both players returned to checking on the {7-Hearts} river and Chan showed {A-}{2-}, but it was no good as Shak help {A-}{9-} and his nine player.

Cabret Doubles

Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Joseph Cabret
Joseph Cabret

Patrik Antonius opened to 160,000 on the button, Dan Shak called in the small blind, and Joseph Cabret three-bet to 605,000 from the big blind. Antonius folded, Shak moved all in for effectively 2.35 million, and Cabret snap-called.

Shak: {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Cabret: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Cabret remained ahead as the flop fell {2-Hearts}{9-Spades}{5-Diamonds}, and Shak was drawing dead once the {k-Hearts} turned.

A meaningless {10-Spades} completed the board, and Cabret was shipped a massive double.

Four-Bet from Glennon

Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Jarrod Glennon opened to 160,000 from under the gun, Patrik Antonius three-bet to 300,000 on his direct left, and the action folded back to Glennon. He sat quietly for the better part of 30 seconds, riffling chips with his right hand before four-betting to 650,000.

The action was back on Antonius, who eyed the bet. Nearly a minute later, he folded, and Glennon picked up the pot.

Shak Takes a Hit

Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

We caught the action on a {a-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{10-Diamonds} flop when Dan Shak checked from the big blind and Jarrod Glennon did the same on the button. The latter then led out for 225,000 on the {K-Diamonds} turn, Glennon called, and the {5-Spades} peeled off on the river.

Shak checked and made a quick call when when Glennon bet 350,000. The Australian rolled over {K-Spades}{10-Hearts} for two pair, and it was good as Shak sent his cards to the muck facedown.

Cabret Moves All in and Shak Calls

Level 26 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Patrik Antonius opened for 160,000 from the cutoff and Dan Shak called from the button. Joseph Cabret then moved all in from the small blind for roughly 1 million, Antonius folded, and Shak made a reluctant call.

Shak: {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}
Cabret: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

Shak literally shook his head upon seeing that Cabret was way out in front, but the {3-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop gave him pause as he picked up a flush draw. Unfortunately for him, and much to Cabret's fortune, neither the {5-Spades} turn nor {2-Diamonds} river completed it.
