Arthur Shap Eliminated in 9th Place ($1,083)
Arthur Shap was riding a short stack and when he looked down to see a bevy of big cards with in the hole, he made his stand with a preflop shove.
Both Marc Goldsmith and Emad Alabsi called to put Shap at risk, and the flop came down . Goldstein then made his own all-in wager, this one for 52,000 and Alabsi quickly called while asking "do you have aces?"
Goldsmith quickly replied in the affirmative and revealed his happily, and while we couldn't catch Alabsi's hand in the frenzy of four-card reveals, his query suggested he held and two other cards. Shap, for his part, was left to call for eights hoping to make complete his gutshot straight draw.
The turn () and river () changed nothing and Goldsmith's aces held up, eliminated Shap in the process.
