Mike Shavensky Eliminated in 10th Place ($3,355)

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Andre Smith opened the action for 35,000 and received a call from Bob De Wolfe. Mike Shavensky then moved all in for right around 170,000, and Kyle Gay moved all in over the top from the big blind. Both Smith and De Wolfe folded, and Shavensky seemed to know he was in trouble.

Shavensky: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Gay: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}

Indeed, Gay had woken up with the best hand in poker just at the right time. The {4-Spades}{2-Hearts}{q-Hearts} flop contained a paint card, but not the one Shavensky was looking for. The same can be said of the {K-Hearts} turn, meaning Shavensky was down to two outs headed to the river.

The dealer burned one last time and put out the {3-Diamonds}. Shavensky fell in tenth place while Gay, who was the short stack at the start of the final table, vaulted to over 600K!
