On the river of a

Vamplew tanked for about five minutes before eventually calling and immediately turning over 
. Altergott sat silent and still for ten seconds before mucking his cards.
A huge double up for the only remaining EPT champion in the field.

Shannon Shorr has dropped down to less than 100,000 after he called Georgios Karakousis all-in on the river of a 
board. The latter showed and Shorr mucked his hand but due to it being an all-in showdown, his was flipped over by the dealer.
