Shak Eliminated in 28th Place

Dan Shak opened to 25,000 from middle position and he found one caller in Darryl Ronconi on the button.

Both players checked the {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop. Shak checked once more on the {9-Spades} turn, however, Ronconi would check no more - instead opting to bed 70,000. Shak made the call.

The river fell a {2-Hearts} and Shak went all in for his last 108,000 and Ronconi called.

Shak flipped over {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}, but Ronconi tabled a superior {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} for a pair of kings and Shak was eliminated.

Niall Farrell Eliminated in 29th Place

Hiren Patel opened to 25,000 from the small blind and was three-bet to 66,000 by Niall Farrell in the big. Patel thought it over and opted to four-bet to 114,000 total. Farrell quickly pushed all in for his last 200,000 and Patel made the call to put Farrell at risk.

Farrell: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Patel: {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}

Patel had a slight advantage going to the flop, but the {Q-Clubs}{K-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop put Patel in dominating shape. The {7-Hearts} turn left Farrell drawing dead and a meaningless {6-Hearts} completed the board to send Farrell to the rail.

Patel is up to 780,000 following the hand.

Shannon Shorr Eliminated in 30th Place

Action folded over to Shannon Shorr on the button, who moved all in for his last 153,000. Peter Nguyen went all in directly behind him to put Shorr at risk.

Shorr: {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}
Nguyen: {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}

Shorr was in terrible shape going to flop and would need a miracle to survive.

The {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}{9-Hearts}{A-Spades}{3-Spades} board wasn't enough and Shorr's two-pair was trumped by Nguyen's set of aces.

Shorr will receive $18,609 for his efforts, while Nguyen has chipped up to 675,000.
