The partypoker Premier League 7 is back for Heat 3 from the city of Montreal. If you missed it then so far Jeff Gross won Heat 1 and yesterday we saw Jason Koon take Heat 2 after a great evening of poker. Playing today of course is Dan Shak who you may remember actually won the Premier League last time around at the Aspers Casino in London. The real question on everyone’s lips is can Shak do it again?

Hand 43 – Laak Out (0 Points)
And we have our first bust with Phil Laak going all in for 207k and getting busted by Sorel Mizzi.
Mizzi –
Laak –
The board brought us
and now we’re 7 players. Afterwards Mizzi actually confessed to Laak saying he didn’t know if he had him beat. It’s always a shame to lose Phil Laak this early on in the game as he brings a great energy to any game.
Hand 42
The action is pretty mellow paced right now. We’ve seen Dan Shak earn a nice little pot off Vanessa Selbst, but in general a lot of chips just being passed back and fore. Jason Koon is the current chip leader with 466,000 chips, closely followed up in 2nd place is Mizzi. The blinds are 2k/4k +500 antes.
