, and Selbst continued out with 125,000. Shak proceeded to check-raise to 300,000, Selbst shoved, and Shak called off the remainder of his chips. Just like that, all the chips were in the middle once again, and the cards were on their backs. Fancy a sweat, anyone?
Showdown
Shak: 
(straight, the nuts)
Selbst: 
(flush draw to the nuts)

River: 
. It's red but it's the wrong shade, and Selbst sunk in her chair just a bit as she realized this duel may not be won quite so easily.
With that most recent double, Shak is back in contention with 4.02 million, knocking Selbst back to 7.69 million in the process.
