John Haas

Francis Anderson was in the hijack and got into a preflop battle with John Haas on the button. The stacks were close, but it was Haas that was all in for just shy of 300,000.

It was a race situation with Haas’ As9h up against Anderson’s 2s2h.

Kenneth Frey

Dan Colpoys raised from under the gun and Kenneth Frey moved all in for about 150,000 next to act. Action folded back to Colpoys who called.

Frey was in a dominating spot with his AcKs up against Colpoys’ Ah10c. That is until the flop came Qs10d6s, giving Colpoys a pair of 10s and the best hand.

Frey needed a king or a jack to stay alive, but the 2h on the turn and the 3s on the river sent him to the rail in 15th place for $15,315.

Dan Colpoys – 730,000

Jose Vasquez

On a flop of Jc10h7h, Jose Vasquez found himself all in for about 220,000 and got called by Shannon Shorr.

Vasquez showed 7d7s, good for bottom set, but needed the board to pair against Shorr’s 9c8c.

The turn was the 6h and the river was the Qh. Neither player’s hand contained a heart and Shorr’s queen-high straight was good enough for the pot and Vasquez was eliminated in 16th place. He earned $12,895 for his finish, while Shorr added to his already sizable lead.

Shannon Shorr – 2,500,000
