James Calderaro Eliminated in 13th Place ($633,022)

James Calderaro - 13th Place
James Calderaro - 13th Place
A short-stacked James Calderaro open-shoved for about 2.5 million from the button, and Kevin Schaffel called from the big blind. They turned their cards on their backs:

Schaffel {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Calderaro {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}

The flop came {2-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{5-Spades}, and Schaffel's tens were still best. The turn brought the {Q-Spades} and an "ooh" from the crowd, noting Calderaro's spade flush draw.

But the river was the {5-Diamonds}, and Calderaro goes out in 13th. Schaffel is at 11.7 million now.
