Brandon Shack-Harris - 16th place
Brandon Shack-Harris - 16th place

Stud Hi-Lo

Brandon Shack-Harris open completed all in for his last 8,000 and Yuebin Guo called. David Bach raised to 20,000 and Richard Chase called as Guo folded.

Chase then proceeded to bet every street thereafter with Bach check-calling him the whole way.

Shack-Harris: {X-}{X-} / {2-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds} / {X-}
Guo: {X-}{X-} / {6-Spades} (folded on third)
Bach: {X-}{X-} / {6-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} / {X-}
Chase: {X-}{X-} / {8-Clubs}{3-Spades}{7-Hearts}{J-Hearts} / {X-}

Once Chase's bet of 24,000 was called by Bach on the river, Chase tabled his {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} / {4-Spades} for rolled up eights.

Immediately, Shack-Harris dropped his head into his hands and shook it back-and-forth from left to right.

Bach mucked, and Shack-Harris tabled his {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Clubs} for trip sevens. Unfortunately for Shack-Harris, he would have to bid a farewell in 16th place for a $16,951 payday.
