Jamie Shaevel raises to 1,500 from middle position and Christian Harder makes it 3,500 to play from the hijack. Action folds back around to Shaevel and he moves all-in for around 12,000. Harder calls.
Harder shows [QcQd] and he is racing with Shaevel’s [AcKs]. The board runs out [5s5h2h10d8s] and the queens hold to eliminate Shaevel and give Harder the pot.
"Way to dash his Player of the Series hopes," Amit Makhija jokingly tells Harder. He is referring the Commerce’s Player of the Series race, where Shaevel was one of the players who could catch the current points leader, Tony Ma. Shaevel picked up three victories this series.
With Shaevel’s elimination, that leaves Ma and Gioi Luong as the top contenders to take down the honor.
Christian Harder – 98,000
Jamie Shaevel – eliminated
