Held Ousts Shalgi Early

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Justus Held opened to 26,000 from early position and was called by Jose Nehme in the cutoff. Joseph Shalgi then moved all in for 314,000 on the button and was called by Held. Nehme folded and Shalgi was officially at risk.

Joseph Shalgi: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Justus Held: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

Shalgi had got his money in good and looked set to get off to a great start on Day 3. The {3-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{q-Hearts} flop changed little, though the {8-Hearts} turn gave Held a flush draw. The {9-Hearts} river completed that draw to send Shalgi packing early in the day in cruel fashion.
