Gennady Shimerfarb Eliminated in 8th Place ($10,291)
Level 18
: 15,000/30,000, 3,000 ante
Dustin Dirksen opened for 75,000 from a middle position, and Gennady Shimerfarb moved all in with a short stack from his left. Action folded back to Dirksen, who asked for a count.
"My hand's weak enough that I actually have a decision," he said with a laugh. Told it was 147,000 more, he made the call.
Dirksen: 
Shimerfarb: 
"I couldn't help myself, they were spades," Shimerfarb said. Unfortunately for him, the board ran out 
, and Dirksen's jack-high stayed best.
