Shak Happy to Check Behind
Level 8
: 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante
From middle position, Yaqi Sun raised to 150,000. Dan Shak, on the button, was the sole caller.
The flop came 
and Sun made a continuation bet. Shak called in position.
With the 
on the turn, Sun checked. Shak bet 325,000 and Sun called.
Both checked the 
on the river and Shak showed 
for top pair and top kicker. Sun tabled 
for the rivered two pair and collected the chips.
Shak called over his coach Seiver and told him what had happened. Sun mimicked a folding motion, indicating that Shak could've just folded on the flop. "I had the ace of hearts..." Shak replied.
