David Guay Eliminated in 22nd Place ($25,319)

Shirley Ang

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Carl Shaw raised to 200,000 from the hijack and David Guay three-bet to 520,000 from the cutoff. The action folded back to Shaw who made the call.

The flop came 2♥6♦3♦, Shaw bet 450,000 and Guay called.

The turn was the 5♣ and Guay was all in for the remainder of his stack for Shaw to snap-call.

David Guay: A♠K♣ All in
Carl Shaw: 6♥6♣

Guay had the overcards (which were no good) and gutshot to a straight but Shaw had a set of sixes.

The river completed the board with the 7♥ and did not change things as Guay made his way out of the tournament area.

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Picking up the action on the turn, the board was reading K♦7♣6♦9♣ and Mike Holtz checked from under the gun. Peter Park checked behind on the button. The pot was already up over a million.

The river 8♠ brought four to a straight and Holtz checked. Park shoved all in and Holtz tried chatting with his opponent to try and gain information. Park, meanwhile, didn't budge and sat stoically in his seat. Holtz ultimately decided to fold after five minutes of thought.
