James Nolan raised on the button and Kevin Calenzo moved all in for about 80,000 from the big blind. Nolan called and was in bad shape with his AcQd against Calenzo’s QcQs.

The flop was Ts9d4d, which kept Calenzo in the lead, but got Nolan calling for cards.

“Jack of diamonds,” said Nolan.

“No, not the sweat card,” said Calenzo.

The turn was the 2c which changed nothing.

“Ok, I’ll just take the ace of diamonds,” said Nolan.

The Ad came right on command and Nolan took the pot, eliminating Calenzo in the process. With a break upcoming, the field is just three eliminations shy of the money.

James Nolan – 570,000
Kevin Calenzo – Eliminated
