John Depersio limped from early position, Jake Bazeley did the same a few seats over, and James Hughes three-bet shoved for 64,500 in the small blind. Depersio called, Bazeley folded, and Hughes was heads-up and flipping for his tournament life.

The flop was a decent start for Hughes, giving him a straight draw in addition to his overcards. The turn left him dead to four outs, though, and the river completed the board to give Depersio the pot with a set of fours. Hughes was eliminated.

John Depersio – 240,000
James Hughes – Eliminated
