James Calderaro - 13th Place

A short-stacked James Calderaro open-shoved for about 2.5 million from the button, and Kevin Schaffel called from the big blind. They turned their cards on their backs:

Schaffel {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{10-Clubs}

Calderaro

{K-Hearts}

{J-Spades}

The flop came {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

{Q-Clubs}

{5-Spades}

, and Schaffel's tens were still best. The turn brought the {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

and an "ooh" from the crowd, noting Calderaro's spade flush draw.

But the river was the {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

, and Calderaro goes out in 13th. Schaffel is at 11.7 million now.
