Sakip Shehu Eliminated in 7th Place ($1,804)

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
Sakip Shehu - 7th Place
Sakip Shehu - 7th Place

Despite a miraculous comeback from the brink, tripling and doubling in succession after falling to just 2.5 big blinds, Sakip Shehu just went busto a moment ago.

Shehu's last hand was {j-}{10-}{9-}{a-} and he happened to run into the {q-Clubs}{k-Spades}{a-Clubs}{a-Spades} held by yet another player who refused to give his name.

Shehu caught up to crack aces when the flop came {9-Spades}{6-Hearts}{j-Hearts}, making top two pair, and the turn bricked off coming {3-Diamonds} to keep him in the lead.

River: {10-Diamonds}

The river sunk Shehu as it completed his opponent's gutshot straight draw, and he hit the rail with a 7th place finish, as well as a story to tell his colleagues back at the job he played hooky from here today.
