Nozomu Shimizu Eliminated in 3rd Place ($287,106)
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Felipe Ramos limped in from the small blind and snap-called when Nozomu Shimizu jammed for 4,050,000 from the big blind.
Nozomu Shimizu: A?10?
Felipe Ramos: A?Q?
Ramos set the trap, and Shimizu took the bait. The J?7?3? flop was not good for Shimizu, but he added some outs after turning a gutshot straight draw as the dealer put the 8? on the felt. The 6? river completed the board, and Ramos secured the elimination.
The $287,106 payout is Shizimu��s biggest payday and follows on from a stellar year where he has already picked up an EPT title in addition to the $194,273 he banked from a �25K High Roller at EPT Monte Carlo.
