Dan Shak took down a couple of pots right before the first break of the day.

The first pot saw Shak raise to 900 from the hijack and get a call from the cutoff. The action checked all the way through on all three streets on a {9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} board, and Shak showed {a-Spades}{5-Spades} to take down the pot with a pair of aces.

In the very next hand, the player to Shak's immediate left bet 800 and Shak three-bet to 4000. The action folded back around to the original raiser, and after thinking it over for a minute the player folded, showing {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}.

"It would have been a race!" said Shak, who told the table he had pocket jacks.
