Shane Fuller Eliminated in 7th Place ($13,444)
Level 22
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
On a heads-up turn of J♣A♥Q♠8♠, Eddie Northcraft led out for 275,000 but then Shane Fuller moved all in for 860,000 total.
"Ughhh... please don't have king-ten... ok, I call," Northcraft announced as he set out chips to put Fuller at risk.
Shane Fuller: A♣10♣
Eddie Northcraft: 9♦10♦
Fuller was not happy about being in bad shape as he was drawing only to a king, but the river 2♦ did not provide and he was sent to the payout desk in 7th place.
