Joe Cada has the button. Antoine Saout makes an oversized raise to 5.4 million from the small blind to put the pressure on the short stack to his left. Jeff Shulman quickly moves all in for an additional 200,000 on top, committing his final 5,600,000 chips to the hand. Saout takes care of the few remaining chips to put the controversial Shulman in immediate danger of elimination.
Showdown
Saout:
Shulman:
It's your standard coinflip for potentially millions of dollars as Shulman is looking to fade his opponent's overcards to stay alive. The board frowns on Shulman, though, as the dealer runs it out
. The nine on the flop vaults Saout into a big lead, and Shulman is unable to climb back into the hand. He's run out of chips, and he's headed over to the interview area to talk about his fifth-place finish. Shulman looks quite disappointed, but he'll pick up more than $700,000 to add to his July earnings.Saout is up to 62,925,000 after that knockout.
