Shak Can't Win From Ace-Queen, Can't Win With Ace-Queen

Level 10 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Dan Shak made it 12,000 acting out of the hijack, and saw Ramin Hajiyev three bet all in from the small blind for 69,500. Shak thought about it for a bit, and eventually called.

Dan Shak: {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Ramin Hajiyev: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}

"Ah, the worst possible hand" said Shak while the dealer got underway dealing the board: {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}. Shak rivered a king but it wasn't good enough.

Not much later, Shak got the remainder of his chips in with {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} himself, but it wouldn't do him any good. He was up against Dan Cates who had {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds} and would not get any help on {9-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. Cates meanwhile is up to 560,000.
