Hand #88: Michael Stembera won a limped pot between the blinds on a board of {5-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{3-Spades}. Stembera showed {k-Spades}{7-Clubs} at showdown, which was good against the {10-Hearts}{6-Spades} of Roland Shen.

Hand #89: Vanessa Kade opened to 225,000 and Michael Stembera flat-called on the button. Kade checked on the flop of {q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{j-Hearts} and called a bet of 200,000 from her opponent.

Hand #90: Tony Tran opened to 225,000 from the button and Tony Sinishtaj three-bet to 650,000 in the small blind. Tran laid it down.

Roland Shen Eliminated in 7th Place ($244,541)

Level 27 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Roland Shen
Roland Shen

Hand #79: Roland Shen opened to 1,335,000 from under the gun with just 100,000 behind and Michael Stembera flat-called.

Shen checked on the flop of {3-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and Stembera bet to put him all-in. Shen took about a minute and called.

Roland Shen: {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Michael Stembera: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

Shen was in bad shape as his opponent had flopped top set, and the runout of {5-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} didn't change things despite Shen hitting a jack on the river.

"Hey, I got there," Shen joked as he walked to his rail in defeat.
