Shak's Ladies Knock Out Ausmus
Level 8
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Action folded to Dan Shak who raised to 12,000 from the hijack, which was called by Stephen Song in the cutoff. The button folded and Jeremy Ausmus three-bet all in for his stack of 125,000. Shak then four-bet all in which got Song to quickly fold, leaving the players heads up, with Ausmus at risk.
Jeremy Ausmus: A♦4♦ 
Dan Shak: Q♠Q♦
Ausmus would need help to stay in the tournament, after running into the pocket queens of Shak. The 4♠2♦J♣ flop gave Ausmus extra outs. But the 2♥ on the turn, and 9♦ on the river were no help for Ausmus, and the pocket queens of Shak took the pot and sent out Ausmus, with only three hands left in Day 1.
