If You See a Faded Sign at the Side of the Road that Says "15 Miles to the Love Shak"

With 2,350 in the pot and a flop of {7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, Dan Shak put out a bet only to have his opponent raise to 5,000. Shak responded by making it 40,000, and the other player called off for 13,000.

Showdown
Shak: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Opponent {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}

The {9-Clubs} turn and {7-Diamonds} river changed nothing, and Shak sent his opponent to the rail. To borrow a phrase from our favorite B-52's song: "Love Shak, that's where it's at."
