Level 11 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

With 25,000 in the pot in the {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop, Giovanni Nava and Yohann Girondin checked from the big blind and early position respectively. Jason Shellum bet 12,000 from middle position and was called by Julian Micallef in the cutoff.

Nava raised to 30,000 and Girondin and Shellum quickly folded. Micalleff jammed for 73,500 and was snap called by his opponent.

Julian Micallef: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Giovanni Nava: {q-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}

Micallef would need to hit an ace to survive but Shellum announced one had already been mucked. He was unable to find the case ace and was left with pennies.

The following hand he was eliminated.
