Dan Shak Eliminated

At least Beth is still in.
At least Beth is still in.
Dan Shak has been eliminated from today's event. Shak moved all in from middle position and was called by Nicholas Levi. Shak showed {K-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} and Levi shoed {A-Hearts} {6-Hearts}. Levi floped a pair of aces with the flop of {5-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {J-Diamonds}. On the turn, Shak picked up a straight draw when the {J-Spades} fell. The river fell a harmless {5-Spades} and as a result, Beth Shak is the only Shak left in today's event.

Jim Sachinidis Doubles

A short-stacked Jim Sachinidis has found a double up in a battle of the blinds. The action passed to Sachinidis in the small blind who open-shoved for his last 13,000. Dale Pinchot snap-called in the big blind with {A-Spades}{J-Hearts} and was in front of the {K-Hearts}{3-Hearts} of Sachinidis.

However the board ran out {3-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{K-Spades}{7-Spades} to give Sachinidis two pair to double up to about 26,000.

Joshua Norris Eliminated

Joshua Norris had been eliminated in unfortunate circumstaces. With all the money in the middle on a board of {9-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds} Norris held {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for a set of tens up against the {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} of Sebastian Segovia for top pair and open-ended straight draw.

They watched anxiously as the {8-Hearts} fell on the river as Segovia yelled "Straight! Straight! Straight!" as he indeed had made a straight to send a disgusted Norris storming out of the tournament area.
