Eric Piderit
Eric Piderit – 6th Place

David Shmuel raised to 40,000 from the button and Eric Piderit (pictured) called from the big blind.

The flop was 8s5s7h and Piderit checked to Shmuel who continued for 50,000. Piderit check-raised all in for about 320,000 and Shmuel called.

Shmuel: 7c6s
Piderit: Kd7d

Piderit had the lead with a pair of sevens and the better kicker, although Shmuel had a straight draw to go with his.

The Ah turn and 6d river completed the board, giving Shmuel two pair on the river to eliminate Piderit in sixth place.

David Shmuel – 1,540,000 (103 bb)
