Jen Shahade Eliminated in 3rd Place ($291,800)

David Salituro

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Jen Shahade raised to 1,900,000 on the button, leaving just 50,000 behind, and called after Thomas Boivin shoved from the big blind.

Jen Shahade: A♥Q♥ All in
Thomas Boivin: K♦K♣

"That's not fair," Shahade's rail said as Boivin showed down two kings. "Ace from space, ace from space!" they began chanting heading to the flop.

"We're going to hear it if there is an ace," Boivin added. The flop came J♦4♥3♦, while the 10♦ turn gave Shahade a straight draw and Boivin a flush draw. The river was the 5♥, and the PokerStars Ambassador had her run end in third place but not before collecting a career-best score of $291,800.

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Thomas Boivin raised to 300,000 on the button with K♠Q♣ and Gal Yifrach defended from the big blind with 7♦6♦. The flop fell K♣J♦10♦ and Yifrach check-called a bet of 300,000 from Boivin.

The turn brought the 9♣ and Yifrach checked again. Boivin threw in another bet of 350,000 after making his straight and Yifrach still called. The river was the 8♣ and Yifrach checked for the third time. Boivin announced a bet of 1,200,000 and Yifrach eventually dumped his smaller straight into the muck.

Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Ekrem Bozkurt finally picked up a premium hand and shoved all in for 860,000 in the small blind. Thomas Boivin called it off in the big blind and the cards were tabled.

Ekrem Bozkurt: A♥K♥ All in
Thomas Boivin: K♣7♣

Bozkurt was in a dominating position but the flop of 8♠7♦4♣ flipped the script as Boivin picked up the only pair. The turn was the 8♥ and the river was the 5♦ which ended Bozkurt's day in fourth place.

Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Action folded to Michael Berk in the small blind who moved all in for 2,365,000. Thomas Boivin waited for the dealer to confirm the amount, then tanked for a minute before calling.

Michael Berk: K♣Q♦ All in
Thomas Boivin: A♣9♣

Boivin was ahead with his ace-high as the flop came 10♥6♠2♣. The 6♥ turn was no help to Berk, while the J♣ completed the board on the river and Boivin secured the pot to send Berk to the rail in fifth place.

Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Thomas Boivin looked down at his cards in the cutoff and just ripped all in as the big stack. Gal Yifrach picked up a premium in the small blind and called off his stack of 1,945,000. The cards were tabled and it was Yifrach in the lead.

Gal Yifrach: J♠J♥ All in
Thomas Boivin: 7♠7♥

The flop came J♦9♣5♠ and Yifrach flopped a set of jacks to hold a huge lead. The 3♣ on the turn left Boivin drawing dead to the 6♠ on the river as he passed over a double up.
