Brandon Shack-Harris Eliminated in 53rd Place

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

The money bubble burst a few minutes ago and it didn't take long for the first player to join the rail. Brandon Shack-Harris would be next after losing a race versus fellow short stack Mace Turco with {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} versus {8-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}. The American improved on the {K-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} {5-Hearts} flop, but Turco binked the {8-Hearts} on the river.

That hand left Shack-Harris with only a few big blinds and he busted shortly after against Jeff Madsen.

Zane Ly Cracks the Bubble

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

There was not even any hand-for-hand play activated yet as two players busted at almost the same time. While the floor announced to hold the action after their current hand was completed, Paul Sharbanee moved all in on table 26. Zane Ly was in the blinds and made the call with {A-Spades} {Q-Hearts} out of the big blind.

It was a flip against the {J-Hearts} {J-Clubs} of Sharbanee and two queens appeared on the flop. Neither turn nor the river delivered one of the two remaining jacks in the deck and suddenly everyone was in the money.

Fundaro Falls to the Rush Hour of Murphy

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante
Giacomo Fundaro
Giacomo Fundaro

It was an all in preflop by Giacomo Fundaro out of the big blind against the raise of Daniel Murphy and the Italian had about 12,000 or so chips left. Murphy called with {6-Hearts} {6-Clubs} and was delighted to see {A-Spades} {k-Clubs} on the other side of the table.

The {7-Spades} {6-Hearts} {8-Spades} flop was even more exciting as Fundaro could not win the pot outright anymore. The {9-Clubs} on the turn provided some chop odds but the {3-Diamonds} river was a brick.
