Shaw Rivers Pham on Bubble
As players were sent on break, David Shaw and Trung Pham were finishing a hand during hand-for-hand of the Main Event's 1E flight.
The board was K♠9♥2♥K♦A♠. With over 150,000 in the middle, Shaw announced all-in and Pham immediately threw in a chip for a call.
Pham, as the effective stack, had less than pot behind and saw the bad news as Shaw tabled A♥A♣ for the recently acquired aces full of kings. Pham tabled K♥J♦ before exiting the tournament.
The remaining 11 players are now in the money and will return to blinds of 5K/10K/10K.
