D.J. MacKinnon Eliminated in 13th Place by Noah Shefrin

Mar 24, 2019

Final 18 DJ Mackinnon

D.J. MacKinnon (pictured) raises from the hijack to 125,000 (leaving himself just 45,000 behind), and Noah Shefrin calls from the big blind.

Both players check to the turn on a board of Club 10Heart 6Diamond 6Heart 10, and Shefrin bets enough to put MacKinnon all in. There is less than a minute before the dinner break, and MacKinnon glances over to the next table and thinks for a while before he calls.

MacKinnon shows Spade QSpade J for the two pair on the board with a queen kicker, but Shefrin turns over Diamond AClub 9 for the two pair on the board with an ace kicker. MacKinnon needs a queen, jack, ten, or six on the river to stay alive.

The river card is the Diamond K, and Shefrin wins the pot with his ace to eliminate MacKinnon in 13th place.

Noah Shefrin  –  1,110,000  (44 bb)
D.J. MacKinnon  –  Eliminated in 13th Place  ($8,236)
