A Set for Shak
Nível 3
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Popular poker wisdom is that showing your cards when you don't have to is bad as you give your opponents free information. Well thankfully that memo hasn't reached Monte Carlo and we like that as it gives us more information to report.
In a recent hand at table 10 Yaqi Sun made it 50,000 to play and he picked up calls from Rick Salomon (button) and Dan Shak (big blind). The action kicked up a notch on the 
flop as Sun continued for 100,000, Salomon called and Shak then check-raised to 400,000 total. There followed quick folds from both his opponent's and as Shak took the pot he showed 
for a flopped set.

Guy Laliberté First One Eliminated
Nível 3
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Not long after being crippled by Patrick Madden, Guy Laliberté made his exit.
In a battle of the blinds, Laliberté (small blind) got his last chips in. His neighbor Bob Safai in the big blind put him at risk by calling.
Guy Laliberté:
Bob Safai: 
Without hesitation or much feel for show, the dealer put out the flop (
), turn () and river (
).
Safai made a flush on the river and Laliberté gathered his things and said his goodbyes.
"He got it up to 5 million!" teased coach Negreanu, hinting at a possible reentry for Laliberté which would grant him a crisp 5 million-stack.

Did Steven Have it?
Nível 3
: 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
A head-scratcher of a moment for Pierre Garand to tell you about now and it was Brandon Steven who put him to the test.
Pre-flop Garand opened to 51,000 from the cutoff, Steven three-bet to 153,000 and Garand smooth called. On the flop Garand check-called a bet of 77,000 and he check-called a further 232,000 on the turn. The 
was a very interesting river card as it completed a broadway straight on the board. Again Garand played it passively, checking the action to Steven. He emptied the clip, firing a third barrel of 470,000 to further swell the pot. This gave Garand pause for thought, he quickly cut out the required calling chips and went to call but then thought better of it.
He and Steven shared some inaudible conversation as Garand continued to mull over the decision, he looked anguished and decided ultimately to keep his powder dry and pushed his cards into the muck. As for Steven, he wasn't showing.
