Shane Swank Eliminated in 9th Place ($8,910)
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Short-stacked Shane Swank moved all in preflop for around 400,000, followed by a shove from Dane Miller for more, and then the action folded to Andrew Manchen who also put his chips into the middle, covering both.
Shane Swank: Q♦J♦
Dane Miller: K♠K♥
Andrew Manchen: Q♥Q♠
Miller was a big favorite to scoop the entire pot, and these odds were greatly increased on the flop of 3♦K♣4♥ as he made top set.
Ironically, the runout of 6♥Q♣ gave Manchen a set of queens on the river that was no good and the massive pot was shipped over to Miller.
"Wow, well that was really bad timing," Swank sighed as he shook his head and headed to the payout desk as the first casualty at the final table.
