Allen Shen Eliminated in 10th Place ($30,161)
Dusti Smith opened the action from under the gun with a raise to 375,000. Allen Shen, in middle position, responded with a shove for 680,000—leaving just 50,000 behind.
Action folded back around to Smith, who mistakenly believed Shen was all in. She tossed in a single chip to call and prematurely tabled her hand. The rest of the table quickly intervened, urging her to cover her cards, as Shen was technically not all in yet.
Fortunately for Smith, Shen didn’t catch a glimpse of her exposed hand, and the action continued without further incident.
The flop came out as 9♦Q♠J♣ and Smith announced, "All in." Shen agreed, stating, "Okay, I have two outs".
Allen Shen: 5♦5♣ 
Dusti Smith: A♣9♣
Shen would need to hit a five to survive, but instead Smith hit another nine 9♣ and a 3♠ on the river to win the pot with trip nines.
