Shaw immediately slammed a stack of chips in the middle for a call. Mavritsakis was at risk to be the final table bubble.
Panagiotis Mavritsakis: 
Carl Shaw: 
Mavritsakis was in dire shape, with Shaw's pocket jacks absolutely crushing his holding. The flop brought some hope in the form of a gutshot straight draw: 
. The turn meant that the two would now chop if Mavritsakis hit his draw, but it did give him two new clean outs.
The river was put out and the whole table was shocked as Mavritsakis rivered trips to crack the jacks of Shaw. Shaw stood up and grumbled to himself about how he had been waiting for a spot like this for four days straight, and how it all had gone array.
Shaw did not get a lot of time to grieve the loss of his chips as he was immediately moved to the feature table to balance the final ten players.
