Aftab Shakoor

The Event 2 field was down to 19 players when Aftab Shakoor open-shoved from the small blind for 290,000 and the big blind called with a similar stack.

Shakoor: Ad2c
Big Blind: Ac5c

Two small aces and the Kc9c6s flop made it look like a possible chop. The Kh turn had the chop even more likely but the 5s turn sent him out in 19th place. Tournament staff paused the clock for a two-table redraw.

In the meantime, Stephen Horniacek took a chunk from Harjinder to take the lead. Horniachek is up to 2,825,000 while Chawla is still okay with 1,500,000.
