Craig Varnell was the victim as the chips were counted to carve away from his stack with his losing hand turned over and discarded.

Eychenne Takes Out Shashikhina

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Sonia Shashikhina moved her small stack of a few big blinds of 260,000 into the middle from the cutoff. Thomas Eychenne re-shoved his larger stack of 560,000 from the button.

In the big blind, Benjamin Thomas looked at his cards and thought for quite a while with a chance to possibly knockout two players at once. But after several moments he folded.

Shashikhina had the {6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} while Eychenne had the {a-Spades}{3-Hearts}.

The board ran out {3-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{7-Spades} to end Shashikhina's run.
