Shchemelev the First to Fall
Pot-Limit Omaha
Well, it only took a few minutes for the first player to fall here on Day 4, and it was no surprise that it was the short stack.
It happened when Vladimir Shchemelev, who finished runner-up in this event back in 2010, raised to 35,000 under the gun only to have Brandon Shack-Harris three-bet to 100,000 from the button. The blinds both folded, Shchemelev moved all in for 149,000 total, and Shack-Harris made the call.
Shchemelev: 
Shack-Harris: 
Shchemelev was on the bad end of the aces-versus-kings situation, though he did pick up an open-ended straight draw on the 
flop. The 
turn was no help to the Russian, and neither was the 
river. Shack-Harris wound up with aces and eights, which was enough to send Shchemelev out the door in 22nd place.
That means the field is now down to 21 players and there will be three-table redraw.
