Brett Shaffer Eliminated in 6th Place ($56,446)
Brett Shaffer opened to 80,000 from the cutoff and Jeffrey King defended his big blind.
The flop fell and King checked to Shaffer who continued for 150,000. King grabbed a giant stack of green T25,000 chips and pushed them forward effectively putting Shaffer all in.
"Alright," Shaffer said. "I'm all in."
King put out some extra chips just in case, and the hands were turned over:
Showdown
Shaffer:
King:
Both players were drawing, but Shaffer was ahead at the moment with ace-high. The on the turn was a blank, but the on the river gave King a winning pair of queens.
Shaffer stared at the board for a bit, shellshocked at what had just happened. He eventually collected himself, shook some hands and headed to the cage.
With that knockout, King is now our clear chip leader with 2,740,000 chips.
