Shak Springs a Check-Raise
Niveau 5
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
I joined the table to see a 
flop on the felt and could see that Dan Shak and Pierre Garand were the only two players still with cards. The dealer had done a great job of lining up the chips so it looked as if each player had put in 160,000 each pre-flop, suggesting that this was a three-bet pot.
Shak had checked the action to Garand and the Canadian player fired out a bet of 250,000, Shak mulled this over for a while before check-raising to 625,000 in total. Garand was taken aback by this move but composed himself, thought for around 20 seconds and then folded. Pot to Shak.
