Nozomu Shimizu Eliminated in 3rd Place ($287,106)
Niveau 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Felipe Ramos limped in from the small blind and snap-called when Nozomu Shimizu jammed for 4,050,000 from the big blind.
Nozomu Shimizu: A♠10♦
Felipe Ramos: A♦Q♠
Ramos set the trap, and Shimizu took the bait. The J♣7♣3♥ flop was not good for Shimizu, but he added some outs after turning a gutshot straight draw as the dealer put the 8♥ on the felt. The 6♥ river completed the board, and Ramos secured the elimination.
The $287,106 payout is Shizimu’s biggest payday and follows on from a stellar year where he has already picked up an EPT title in addition to the $194,273 he banked from a €25K High Roller at EPT Monte Carlo.
