Eisenberg Can't Look, Shao Eliminated
The action began with a raise from early position to 35,000. Bob Shao then moved all in for 160,000, a couple of seats over. Lara Eisenberg was next to act, and chose to call the all-in, before Sam Chartier cold four-bet from the big blind to 400,000.
The original raiser folded, and the action was back on Eisenberg. She looked tortured, trying to decide what to do, she counted and recounted her stack. Three or four minutes passed before she moved all in, a five-bet to 535,000. Chartier made the call, and the cards were flipped over.
Bob Shao: A♥Q♦
Lara Eisenberg: J♠J♦
Samuel Chartier: A♣K♦
Eisenberg took a few steps away from the table and faced the other direction, unable to watch the runout.
The dealer spread out a 6♣2♥4♠ flop, followed by a 7♣ turn and a 9♠ river. A player not involved in the hand let Eisenberg know it was good news, and she could turn around.
As the pot was being tidied and sent in the direction of Eisenberg, Kenny Hallaert, also at the table, joked, "You tanked so long the other guy [Shao] made a pay jump.”
