Shak Doubles Up, Busts Out

Beth Shak is right back up to her starting stack. A short-stacked gentleman got his chips in preflop with {9-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}, but Shak woke up with {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds} and a complete absence of nines and so on on the board sent the gentleman home and put Shak up to 6,100.

-------

But wait! Breaking news just in: Beth Shak is now out.

She limped in the cutoff and the small blind squeezed. "Let me just tell you that this is not the best call if I make it," said she, and then called anyway.

Shak: {K-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}
Small blind: {A-Hearts} {7-Hearts}

Board: {K-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {Q-Hearts}

For a happy moment Shak thought she'd won the hand, but then realized her mistake with great sorrow. Off she goes.
