Arthur Shap Eliminated in 9th Place ($1,083)

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 0 ante
Arthur Shap - 9th Place
Arthur Shap - 9th Place

Arthur Shap was riding a short stack and when he looked down to see a bevy of big cards with {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}{j-Clubs}{10-Clubs} 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 {9-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{7-Spades}. 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 {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{5-Spades} happily, and while we couldn't catch Alabsi's hand in the frenzy of four-card reveals, his query suggested he held {k-}{k-} and two other cards. Shap, for his part, was left to call for eights hoping to make complete his gutshot straight draw.

The turn ({q-Clubs}) and river ({2-Hearts}) changed nothing and Goldsmith's aces held up, eliminated Shap in the process.
