Carl Shaw Eliminated in 3rd Place (€901,070)
Level 35
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Carl Shaw raised to 800,000 on the button before Simon Wiciak three-bet to 3,200,000 in the small blind. Shaw then shoved all in for 13,075,000 and Wiciak snap-called.
Carl Shaw: K♣Q♦
Simon Wiciak: A♦Q♥
João Sydenstricker folded a king in the big blind, so Shaw was looking for one of only two remaining in the deck to stay alive. He found one on the K♠9♣6♣ flop and suddenly became a big favorite to earn a massive double up.
The J♥ turn gave Wiciak a straight draw heading to the river, which came the A♣ as Wiciak spiked top pair to send Shaw to the rail in third place and set up a heads-up match with Sydenstricker.
