Level 24
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Nikolaos Lampropoulos limped the button and Dan Shak checked his option in the blinds.
The 9?4?6? flop landed and action checked to Lampropoulos who put out a bet of 500,000. Shak Called.
The 2? landed on the turn and Shak checked it over to Lampropoulos again who bet 1,000,000. Shak wasted little time and then put in a check-raise to 3,000,000.
Lampropoulos mulled it over for close to two-minutes before moving all in. Shak shrugged and flicked in a call to put his tournament life at risk.
Dan Shak: A?9?6?5?
Nikolaos Lampropoulos: Q?Q?6?9?
It was fairly even going to a the last card.
The dealer burned and turned the 7? which gave Lampropoulos a flush to eliminate Shak and earn himself a coveted WSOP gold bracelet.
