Shak Attack

Dan Shak, poker's great multitasker
Dan Shak, poker's great multitasker

We admittedly missed the vast majority of this hand, but it's worth telling you what we know.

We walked up to a turned board showing {4-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}, and there was already about 34,000 chips heaped in the middle of the table. Dan Shak was heads up with Gabriel Alarie, and Alarie had a bet or raise of 11,000 laid out in front of him. It almost surely had to be a raise based on the size of the pot, but either way, Shak was deep in the tank when we walked up.

He had about 48,000 chips left in his stack, and he eventually moved all in for that amount. Alarie hemmed and hawed and cut down his own stack before folding and flashing the {K-Clubs}.

That was a big boost to Shak's stack, and he's put himself in quite good shape with just over 90,000 now.
