Christian Tabac

Hand #84: Shintaro Sato shoved on the button and was snap-called all-in by Christian Tabac in the small blind for 16,000,000.

Christian Tabac: A K

Shintaro Sato: Q 3

Tabac was poised to score a massive double up with his Big Slick, but his dreams of a Main Event title were quickly diminished after the Q 5 6 flop vaulted Sato into the lead with a pair of queens.

Tabac was looking for an overcard, but none came on the 4 turn or J river, eliminating Tabac in third place in disappointing fashion and giving Sato an enormous chip lead.
