Arthur Shap Eliminated in 9th Place ($1,083)
Arthur Shap was riding a short stack and when he looked down to see a bevy of big cards with ![]()
![]()
![]()
in the hole, he made his stand with a preflop shove.
Both Marc Goldsmith and Emad Alabsi called to put Shap at risk, and the flop came down ![]()
![]()
. Goldstein then made his own all-in wager, this one for 52,000 and Alabsi quickly called while asking "do you have aces?"
Goldsmith quickly replied in the affirmative and revealed his ![]()
![]()
![]()
happily, and while we couldn't catch Alabsi's hand in the frenzy of four-card reveals, his query suggested he held ![]()
and two other cards. Shap, for his part, was left to call for eights hoping to make complete his gutshot straight draw.
The turn (
) and river (
) changed nothing and Goldsmith's aces held up, eliminated Shap in the process.
