How do a pair of gamblers sneak through the closely-guarded doorways of Upper East Side real estate? By buying in one of the rare condos! Once-married poker players Beth and Daniel Shak picked up apartment #14A at 1049 Fifth Avenue for $7.2 million in 2005. When they divorced, Daniel got the place?in exchange for what appears to have been a $3.25 million payment to his ex-wife. Poker players drive a hard bargain! Now Daniel Shak is ready to unload the apartment, listing it for $7.475 million. We're not surprised: even with a recent renovation, some sweet terraces, and built-in surround sound, 1049 Fifth seems a little quiet for a poker pro.
