Day 2: Briongos Mendez Eliminated in 6th Place ($6,970)

The exact preflop action was missed, but on the flop of Q♦T♦T♥, David Shaw led-jammed and Briongos Mendez snap-called to put himself at risk. 

Shaw tabled A♦9♦ but would need to get there against the K♠Q♠ held by Mendez. 

Sure enough, the 5♦ appeared right on the turn to give Shaw the lead, but Mendez still had hope if a T or Q river. Unfortunately for him, the river was the brick 6♠ and Mendez was eliminated in 6th place while Shaw essentially doubled. 

Shaw - 7.5mil
Mendez - 0
