Brian Schaffer

Brian Schaffer was the short stack at the start of the Event 18 final table and despite hanging on for almost two full levels, could not make a pay jump.

Ross Ward raised to 120,000 under the gun and Schaffer pushed for 575,000 in the lojack. The rest of the table folded and Ward called right away with A♠K♦. Schaffer was an underdog with A♦J♦.

The Q♣7♦5♦ flop gave Schaffer a flush draw but he could not catch on the 4♠ turn or 10♣ river.

The players are on a short break and updated counts are up next.

Ross Ward – 1,980,000
Brian Schaffer – 10th place ($5,832)
