Don't Poke The Bear

Brandon Shack-Harris has shown up today with a hoodie that is styled to look like a real bear, but this is not something that's new for him. Last year, when Shack-Harris made the final table of Event #60: $1,500 Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo 8 or Better, he wore a similar-looking outfit. Last year, though, he wore a polar bear, and the same costume has made appearances earlier in this series. Today, he's gone for a black bear.

It seems like it might be something that's lucky for him, though, as he just took a pot off Marcel Luske.

Shack-Harris: {x-}{x-} / {3-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{9-Clubs} / {x-}
Luske: {x-}{x-} / {9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} / {x-}

Shack-Harris was the bring-in and Luske just called. On fourth, Shack-Harris checked to Luske. Luske bet and Shack-Harris raised. Luske called. Luske called another bet on fifth street, then both players checked down sixth and seventh.

"Two pair," Luske said.

Shack-Harris turned up his down cards of {A-}{3-}{5-} for a better two pairs, and that was good for him to take down the early pot.
