Robert Williams raised from early position and Martin Robbins called from his direct left. It folded around to Joe Patalano and he shoved the cutoff for 50,000. The button and blinds folded. It was back on Williams and he called. The action was on Robbins and he promptly announced “all-in” having both players covered. Williams called off and Robbins had the opportunity to bust two players.

Patalano: AcQs
Robbins: As9s
Williams: KdQd

The flop fell Th5s2s giving Robbins outs to a flush. The turn was the 8d. Robbins needed a spade to bust both players while Williams was looking for a king or queen. Fifth street came the 3h officially earning Patalano the hand. He tripled up while Robbins’ ace-high was enough to take a side pot off Williams. With that, Williams busted while Patalano jumped into contention for the chip lead.

Joe Patalano – 158,500 (52 bb)
Martin Robbins – 142,000 (47 bb)
Robert Williams – Eliminated
