Shane Schleger has been eliminated from the Main Event after what Marvin Rettenmaier described as an "absurd" hand. We didn't catch the action, but thanks to Rettenmaier we know what happened.
A player in seat 1 opened to 300. In seat 3, Jeff Sarwer called the raise. Then, from the cutoff Shane Schleger called. The three players took to a flop of

The river was a brick, but the player in seat one told the table that he folded for top set on the flop. Rettenmaier wasn't positive, but he did say that he was 95% sure the player was telling the truth, although his cards were never shown.

on a 
board against another player who had and he was eliminated from the tournament when the board bricked out. Here's what Shaniac had to say about his bust on twitter:

It's an unfortunate twist to end Schleger's day but we're sure to be seeing again some time in the future.
