Mike Shin
Mike Shin

Mike Shin, who last month finished 12th in the WSOP Main Event, moved all in under the gun for 62,500 and Spencer Champlin called off from the button for 48,000. Both blinds folded and the cards were turned up.

Shin: 10c10h
Champlin: AhQh

It was a flip, but Champlin needed to improve to stay alive. That’s just what he did when the board ran out Qc2d5hAd9h to give him two pair.

In the very next hand, the under-the-gun player raised to 10,000 and Shin, who was in the big blind, moved all in for 14,000 total. His opponent called.

Shin: As6d
Opponent: 6c6s

Shin was looking for an ace, and he found one on the Ah3d2d flop. Neither the 3h turn nor 4c river proved harmful, and Shin doubled his short stack.

Spencer Champlin – 100,000
Mike Shin – 35,000

Event 23: Scott Clements Eliminated in 16th Place ($16,000)

$2,650 No Limit Hold’em (Freeze-Out)

Scott Clements

James Gilbert raised to 35,000 from middle position and Vlad Mezheritzky moved all in on his direct left for 258,000. Action folded to Scott Clements in the big blind, who moved all in for 256,000 and Gilbert quickly folded.

Mezheritzky showed AcAs and had Clements’ 8c8h in bad shape.

Clements didn’t find any help as the board ran out Tc3c3h3sKs and Mezheritzky more than doubled up, eliminating Clements in the process.

Vlad Mezheritzky – 570,000 (35 bb)
Scott Clements – Eliminated 

Event 24: Ben Palmer & Nikolai Sears Gone

$1,100 No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 17: 2,500/5,000 with a 500 ante
Players: 78 of 828 players remaining

Ben Palmer got his remaining chips all in preflop and found himself at risk of Chase Bianchi.

Palmer: Kh9s
Bianchi: Qc10d

Palmer got it in good, but he fell behind on the 8s2hQs flop. The Qh turn gave Bianchi trips, and that left Palmer drawing dead headed to the Jc river.

Meanwhile, Nikolai Sears has also been eliminated from the tournament.

Chase Bianchi – 270,000
Ben Palmer – Eliminated
Nikolai Sears – Eliminated

Event 23: Justin Young vs. Austin Peck

$2,650 No Limit Hold’em (Freeze-Out)
Level 22: 8,000/16,000 with a 2,000 ante
Players Remaining: 16 of 529

Justin Young raises to 33,000 from the hijack and Austin Peck called from the cutoff. Nicholas Immekus came along from the big blind and they were three-handed to a flop of 9s4c3d.

Immekus checked and Young bet 45,000. Peck called and Immekus folded.

The turn was the 4d and both players checked. The river was the 8c and Young bet 124,000. Peck called and Young showed 9h8h, good for top two pair.

Peck mucked his hand and Young won the pot.

Justin Young – 770,000 (48 bb)
Austin Peck – 510,000 (31 bb)
