Shack-Harris Still Chasing Danzer
Yesterday, George Danzer won his third gold bracelet of 2014 and pulled out to a big lead in the Player of the Year race. However, the man who was leading it at the start of the WSOP APAC, Brandon Shack-Harris, isn't out of it yet. Some very deep runs in either this event or the upcoming AU$25,000 High Roller could tip the scales back in his favor. It's a long shot, but his journey starts today.
In a recent hand, Shack-Harris opened for 200 from middle position only to have the player on the button three-bet to 525. Steven Zhou flatted from the small blind, Shack-Harris put in the additional 325, and three players took a flop of

.
Shack-Harris check-called a bet of 3,000 and then both players checked the 
river. The button was the last aggressor and obligated to show first, and he sheepishly tabled the 
. Shack-Harris then rolled over the 
for a pair of jacks and the win.
