Shak's Stack Cut in Half

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Dan Shak opened to 6,000 on the button and was met with an all-in re-raise to 37,000 from the small blind. Shak called surprisingly quickly and saw that he was in good shape heading to the flop.

Shak: {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-Spades}{9-Spades}

Unfortunately for Shak, a nine came out right in the window on the {9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop. The {5-Hearts} turn and {5-Spades} river were no help to Shak, whose stack now sits just above 35,000.
