Shak Takes a Nasty Beat Against Rapaski

Livello 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Dan Shak was all-in before the flop for around seven blinds against Ryan Rapaski and the following cards were exposed.

Dan Shak: K♣K♠5♠3♣
Ryan Rapaski: A♥Q♠4♣3♠

The 10♠9♣6♣ flop was a good start for Shak and he even added a second flush draw with the J♠ turn. However, the K♥ then followed on the river as Rapaski got there with an unlikely ace-high straight to score the knockout.
