Hand #121: Jamie Shaevel raised to 10,000,000 with 4,500,000 behind. Lucas Jumalon asked how much he had back before calling.
The flop came 7♠4♥3♣ and Jumalon checked. Shaevel put in his remaining chips and Jumalon thought briefly before calling.
Jamie Shaevel: K♥6♥ 
Lucas Jumalon: K♦10♥
The turn was the J♣ and the river the J♥ sending Shaevel to the rail in seventh place as the first elimination on the second night's play. He takes home $1,500,000.
"I'm definitely very emotional," Shaevel told Jeff Platt shortly after busting. "I'm sad right now, but also it won't take long for me to appreciate everything that's happened. It's been beyond a dream come true."
"The sheer number of people who've flown from all four corners of the country, called, texted DM'd whatever - every possible method of telling me they're watching and rooting for me. I'm touched."
Sporting a #8 Kobe Bryant jersey at the final table, Platt asked how much the 'Mamba Mentality' of the late NBA superstar influenced his play at the final table.
"Growing up and watching Kobe and embracing and appreciating Mamba Mentality shaped who I am. The jersey I wore was given out at the memorial game after Kobe passed. It's very special to me, so I thought if I'm going down, I'd like to go down wearing this."
