Just as Mukul Pahuja busted 11th, former World Champion Joe McKeehen also met his fate at the neighboring table. In the fateful hand, Lumni Zhuta limped the cutoff and Justin Harvell followed suit from the button. McKeehen was in the small blind and raised to 450,000. Zhuta folded while Harvell moved all-in. McKeehen called off and the hands were put face up.

It was three-way action between A.J. Kelsall on the button, Paul Balzano in the small blind, and Matthew Zarcadoolas in the big. The blinds checked the flop and Kelsall bet out 340,000. Paul Balzano called and Zarcadoolas check/raised to 1,200,000.

Kelsall took his time to work it out and the clock was called after a few minutes. He released his hand, saying later that he mucked (confirmed by Mukul Pahuja), and Balzano moved all in for approximately 700,000. Zarcadoolas called to put the former SHRP champ at risk.

Zarcadoolas:
