Caleb Shumard Eliminated in 3rd Place by Mike Leah ($34,018)

2-7 Triple Draw

A trio of disastrous Triple draw hands have seen Caleb Shumard eliminated from the tournament.

After dropping a sizeable pot to Mike Leah, followed by one to Luigi Santoro, Shumard had about 300,000 left when Leah finished the job.

Leah raises the button and gets calls from Santoro in the small blind and Shumard in the big blind.

Santoro draws two, Shumard takes one, and Leah draws two. Action checks to Leah who bets and both opponents call.

Each player draws one and again it is checked to Leah who continues betting. Santoro calls, and Shumard commits his final 70,000 chips.

Santoro and Shumard draw one while Leah stands pat.

After Santoro checks, Leah places one final bet, and Santoro folds. Leah shows and Shumard tucks his cards directly into the muck before shaking hands and hugging his opponents before departing the tournament floor.

Mike Leah – 2,200,000
Caleb Shumard – eliminated
