Byung Eun Shin Eliminated in 11th Place ($26,926)
Level 29
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Level 29 wasn’t kind to Byung Eun Shin, who had 30,000 behind by the time he posted the big blind and ante.
He watched as Timothy Miles raised 250,000 before the flop and then Valentino Konakchiev called in the small blind. Shin shrugged his shoulders and put his remaining chips in.
The dealer fanned K♥J♦10♠, which Konakchiev and Miles checked. The 7♣ appeared on the turn, prompting checks from Konakchiev and Miles. The dealer then placed 5♦ on the river, which Konakchiev bet and Miles folded. The cards were then tabled:
Byung Eun Shin: J♥2♣
Valentino Konakchiev: J♠9♠
Konakchiev’s 9♠ kicker played to eliminate Shin in 11th place for $26,926.
