John Nelson Eliminated in 19th Place ($19,012)

Valentyn Shabelnyk opened to 32,000 under the gun and was called by Cherish Andrews in the hijack. John Nelson was in the big blind and he three-bet to 85,000. Both Shabelnyk and Andrews called to see the {J-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} flop.

Nelson checked it to Shabelnyk who bet 105,000, chasing Andrews out. Nelson, however, raised all in for 462,000 total. Shabelnyk took about 60 seconds before he called with {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}. Nelson tabled a dominating {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}, but the {9-Diamonds} turn and {A-Diamonds} river gave Shabelnyk a flush to win the pot, score the elimination, and take the chip lead.
