Dan Shak opened to 22,000 and Alfonso Amendola called on the button. Socrates Philippou in the big blind made it all in for 115,000 more and Shak folded - according to our field reporter, eating something that involved chicken and looked delicious. Either way Amendola made the call and they turned the cards over.
Amendola: 
Philippou: 
"I'm in trouble," said Philippou, reasonably.
Board: 
As it turned out both players made a flush but Amendola's was higher. Philippou was out, and the Amendola stack got bigger.
