Shak's Jack Attack
Level 14
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Adam Carlton opened for 8,800 under the gun and was met by a three-bet to 35,000 from Dan Shak, who was sitting to his immediate left. Action folded back around to Carlton and he eyed up Shak's remaining stack of 95,500 before announcing that he was all in. Shak snap-called and it was off to the races.
Carlton:
Shak:
Neither remained focused on the board as the dealer put down the flop. It was safe for Shak, as was the turn. All he needed to do was dodge an ace and king on the river to double, and that's just what he did as the harmless reared it's head.
Meanwhile, Dejan Pustoslemsek, who had been nursing a short stack the majority of Day 2, has been eliminated from the tournament.
