"February $100,000" (Day 2): Sean Shah's Incredible Run Ends With An 8th Place Finish ($2,675)

"February $100,000"
$360 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD
Level 24 (Blinds 15,000/30,000/5,000)
Total Entries: 352
Players Remaining: 7

This eighth place finish makes back-to-back final table cashes for Sean Shah (Delray Beach, FL), with this one being particularly special, after having just over one big blind in Level 14.

At one point earlier in the afternoon, Sean Shah (Delray Beach, FL) was down to just over one big blind.  He managed to spin that up to close to forty big blinds, eventually eclipsing the chip average, and setting himself up for this final table run.  Returning from break with just over ten big blinds, Shah was looking for a double, and would shove for 300,000 just moments ago (after action folded to him).  Sebastian Kos was next to act, and after thinking for about a minute, also shoved (for 285,000).  Kos's A♣ J was ahead of Sean's A 10♠, with the runout bringing no help to the latter.  Sean was left with just 15,000 after absorbing the loss, and would be eliminated the very next hand.
