Shiels Eliminates Sabau with an Overpair
Level 16
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Joshua Marquardt opened 80,000 under the gun, and both Brandon Shiels and Razvan Sabau came along in the blinds.
The dealer spread a flop of 8?5?3?, and once checked to, Marquardt continued for 75,000. Shiels made the call, and Sabau put in a raise to 275,000.
Marquardt quickly folded, and Shiels went into the tank. After using multiple time banks, he shoved the rest of his chips into the middle. Sabau had about 680,000 total and made the call.
Razvan Sabau: 9?8? 
Brandon Shiels: 9?9?
Sabau flopped top pair but it was no good against the overpair of Shiels and the board completed with the 5? turn, and 4? river.
