Shawn Daniels Eliminated in 72nd Place ($101,444)

Christian Pham has been on a tear as of late, taking down several pots preflop, a few on the flop, and steadily rebuilding his stack after being down to just over 2 million less than an hour ago. Shawn Daniels was one of the unfortunate victims of Pham's heater as Pham just eliminated Daniels from the tournament.

Christian Pham opened with a raise to 260,000 from the hijack and action folded around to Shawn Daniels who was in the small blind. He moved all in for 1,680,000 and Pham went into the tank. He tanked for several minutes before the clock was called. Pham tanked down until there was only 10 seconds left, then called with a covering stack.

Daniels:

The flop was an exciting one when it came down , giving Pham a better pair, but Daniels a flush draw. The turn was the though, not improving Daniels, and the didn't improve him either, so he was eliminated from the tournament in 72nd place. Pham's heater has him now sitting just under 8 million chips.
