Yau Shows Shak a Winner
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
On the first hand of the new level, Avery Grande opened to 2,000 from early position and was called by Ethan Yau. Action folded around to Dan Shak in the big blind, who tossed in the call.
Shak and Avery checked the 10?8?2? flop, with Yau firing 2,000. The dealer then revealed the 6? turn, with all three players checking to the 10? river.
Another pair of checks left action on Yau, who tossed out a bet of 6,500. Shak made the quick call while Grande let his hand go.
Yau showed 9?9? for a flush, earning the pot as Shak mucked.
