Good level for
Tobias Reinkemeier – Anyone making quads, and getting paid off, deserves to be nominated for the “good level” award.
Bad level for
Dan Shak – Former commodities trader Shak lost 348,000 chips, thanks in part to being involved in the Reinkemeier quads hand.
Hand of the level
Tobias Reinkemeier makes quads! On a 
board, Reinkemeier led for 41,000 and was called by Dan Shak and his 
and Talal Shekerchi with the 
. The 
river improved Reinkemeier to quad eights and Reinkemeier expertly checked, knowing Shakerchi would not be able to resist betting. And bet he did, setting the price at 72,000. Shak folded but Reinkemeier composed himself before raising all-in. Shakerchi instantly folded and Reinkemeier scooped the pot.
View from the booth
“Talal’s put in some weird fadoodles,” – a typical Jesse May-ism!
“I lost a bet to Phil Laak! I’m such a sucker!” – Jesse May after losing a bet on whether Dan Shak was going to call Tony G’s shove.
