No Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Kazuhiro Shirasawa moved all in for his last 945,000 on the button and Shaun Deeb tanked a bit before calling from the small blind to put Shirasawa at risk.

Deeb stood pat and Shirasawa went deep into the tank deciding if he should break or not.

After several minutes, Deeb called the clock. Shirasawa took a bit longer and then decided to stay pat as well.

"Nine six," Deeb announced as he fanned out 9x6x5x3x2x.

It was good against Shirasawa's Jx10x9x7x3x — eliminating him in third place.
