Shashank Jain Eliminated in 20th Place ($24,635)
Derek Normand opened to 200,000 from early position and action folded around to Shashank Jain in the big blind who then moved all in for 1,050,000.
James Anderson then moved all in over the top and Normand went into the tank.
"Agh, this would be so much easier if it was just me and you," Normand said aloud in Jain's direction.
After thinking for another thirty seconds, he announced a fold and the cards were tabled.
Shashank Jain: A?K?
James Anderson: A?Q?
"See, that's exactly what I didn't want to see! I had pocket eights!" Normand was kicking himself.
He wouldn't kick himself for long, however, as the flop came out A?Q?7? to immediately give Anderson the lead with top two pair. Jain would need a to hit a king or running jack-ten to win, but the runout of 9?5? did not do it for him and he was sent to the rail in 20th place.
