Shashank Wins an Odd Hand
Level 5
: 250/500, 75 ante
Nan Hong has been eliminated for the second time while Matas Cimbolas, Huidong Gu and Pierre Calamusa are gone with their first bullet. Rathi Shashank may have experienced the same fate, but just managed to spin his stack back up in a hand against Shinobu Tanaka.
On the flop of 
, Tanaka checked in the big blind and was the only caller of a bet worth 2,000 by Shashank on the button. Tanaka then led the 
turn for 3,500 and was called before firing the 
river for 11,500. Shashank moved all in for just 1,500 more and Tanaka instantly mucked his cards.
This surprised Shashank, who said "really? for 1,500 more?" and started stacking the chips, while Adrian Attenborough arrived at the same time with a monster stack and claimed seat one.
