Shak's strategy wasn't to out-play Ivey, but rather get the money in whenever he thought he was good. Using that strategy, Shak shoved on Ivey a few times and put in some big three-bets.
Shak did though come from behind in the final hand when he spiked a three-outer to take home the title. Shak took the mic after the tournament was over and made sure to graciously compliment Ivey and make sure that everyone knew, "I just got the better cards, he's the best player in the world hands down."
