Dan Shak Eliminated

Dan Shak = Busto
Dan Shak = Busto
Dan Shak took a hit when he lost 80,000 to Erick Lindgren. That pot had thrust Lindgren into the chiplead with over 250,000, while Shak slipped to 45,000.

A couple of hands later, Shak busted out. Three players limped (including Tom "Durrr" Dwan) and Dan Shak shoved all in for his last 24,000 from the small blind. Durrr called. The flop was {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades}. Shak moved all in and Durr called.

Shak: {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Durrr: {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}

Durrr was ahead with a pair of 8s. The turn was the {2-Diamonds} and the river was the {J-Spades}. Dan Shak was eliminated.

Durrr increased his stack to over 300,000.
