Dan Shak Loses to a Straight for Third and Final Time

Jan_Kores

Nível 6 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Once again a pass by Dan Shak's table, saw the poker aficionado lose an Omaha hand, getting shown a straight by his opponent.

While Justin Bonomo hurt Shak twice in Omaha/8, Shak's swan song was played in a PLO hand.

Bonomo raised to 3,200 from the hijack and Daniel Negreanu flatted in the next seat. Shak announced, "Pot," from the button, and the dealer informed him the bet was 14,600.

Mike Matusow cold-called from the small blind while the open-raiser Bonomo folded. Negreanu came along.

Three-way to the flop, Matusow checked to Negreanu who bet out 12,000. Shak moved all in for under 20,000, and Matusow left the hand, letting Negreanu go solo against Shak.

Dan Shak:
Daniel Negreanu:

"Wow, you have a straight already," Shak observed. He was calling for a four for a chop, and one would arrive in the on the turn. However, it did no service to Shak who spotted he was still trailing.

The river finished his painful hour as he lost his tournament life, losing to a straight again.

Negreanu raked in the pot to climb back over 200,000.

Katz Approaches 500,000 in Chips

Jan_Kores

Nível 6 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Four-way to the turn, small blind Tommy Chen led out 6,600. Big blind Aaron Katz, pumped the price to 22,000 and things got even more interesting when Michael Mizrachi cold-called from the cutoff. Button John Monette gave up, but Chen called to continue battling for the juicy pot.

With a flush possibility on the turn, the river was certainly interesting as well, pairing the board. Chen checked and Katz made things simple but definitely not easy. He reached for four of the most valuable chips, throwing in a bet of an even 100,000.

Mizrachi wasn't ready to fold so quickly. He kept shuffling with some of his chips and then reached out to his stack to add some more. He was shuffling with 200,000, and it looked as if he was almost about to min-raise. However, he eventually folded. Chen released his cards in the blink of an eye, leaving the big pot to Katz.

Katz is now sitting on roughly 500,000, good for a provisional top three.
