Event 5: In the Money Early

$150 No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 19: 4,000/8,000/1,000 Ante

It took exactly zero rounds of hand-for-hand action to get Event 5 into the money. Dealers were told to finish their hand and stand up when one of those hands got big in a hurry.

There was a three-way all-in hand going down on Table 23 between Perry Shaio on the button, short stacked David Somers in the small blind, and biggest stack Brett Silverman in the big blind.

Shiao: AcKs
Somers: AsJs
Silverman: 8s8c

Silverman had a chance for the double KO on the money bubble but Shiao jumped ahead on the KdTh2h flop. Somers couldn’t find a stay alive miracle as the board completed Td9h to send Somers out in 118th with 117 paying.

Silverman took a small hit while Shiao moved over 275,000.
