Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Sharukh Shaw was all in and at risk for 1,210,000 in the hijack and Chanracy Khun looked him up from the button.

Sharukh Shaw: {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Chanracy Khun: {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}

The {Q-Clubs}{9-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop improved Shaw to a pair of queens and he remained in the lead on the {2-Hearts} turn and {10-Clubs} river run out to double up.

Jensen Five-Bets All In

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Frederik Jensen
Frederik Jensen

Peter Nguyen raised to 180k from early position, and Ivan Luca called in the next seat. The action folded around to Frederik Jensen in the big blind and he three-bet to 730k. Nguyen responded with a four-bet to 1.7m and Luca folded.

Jensen wasn't done however and five-bet all in for 3.09m. Nguyen needed time to think despite his aggressive nature. After a couple of minutes thought he let his hand go at the ESPN feature table and Jensen chipped up to 5m.

Gross Missteps; Fox Soars to Huge Lead

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Alexander Gross

In one big hand, Jorden Fox has claimed the chip lead in the 2018 WSOP Main Event. The board was already completed with {3-Spades}{9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} and Fox bet 800,000. Gross raised all in for around 3,800,000 and Fox snap-called it off.

Knowing he was beat, Gross flung {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} open in the muck for a pair and a straight blocker. Fox showed the absolute nuts with {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and racked up the nearly ten million chip pot.

"Nut-nut," Fox cheered in celebration.

"Of course he has the jack-ten," Gross muttered, whose Main Event came to an end just like that. He finished in 87nd place and received $77,695.

"What a terrible, terrible river," Haro said, showing {q-Spades}{9-Spades} for a straight.

"Probably."

Sharukh Shaw - Out
Sharukh Shaw - Out

Sharukh Shaw made it 180,000 to go and Chanracy Khun three-bet to 485,000, which Roger Lussier in the big blind called. Shaw then moved all in for 2,610,000 and Khun called, which forced out Lussier.

Sharukh Shaw: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}
Chanracy Khun: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

"You folded queens too?" Shaw joked to Lussier, who just shook his head. The board ran out {9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and Shaw failed to get there after having previously doubled through Khun just a few minutes ago. Shaw was eliminated in 85th place and takes home $77,695 for his efforts.

Cameras were called to Table 447 so we came upon an all-in pot there with Yueqi Zhu under the gun having Rifat Palevic at risk from a couple of seats over.

After the hand, a player told us the all-in shove was for 930,000.

More Chips for Fox; Chip Counts from Table 427

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

On a {9-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} flop, with over a million in the pot already, Jorden Fox shoved all in putting Mason Barrell to the test. Barrell agonized over his decision for several minutes before folding.

Fox turned over {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} seemingly to put Barrell out of his misery after a long and tortuous tank.

"How can you call the guy who has the nuts every time?" asked one of his tablemates.
