Defending Champ Mike Estes opened under the gun for 15,000, only to call a 35,000 three-bet Shawn McCracken made from the cutoff.

Once the flop hit the felt, Estes tossed his remaining stack into the middle and was quickly called by McCracken.

It was a cooler situation for Estes, as McCracken not only rolled over the better made hand, but also the better club draw, and the turn followed by the river ended the two-time Champ’s run.

Shawn McCracken - 300,000
Mike Estes - Eliminated
