In a battle between members of the poker media, Chad Holloway (who has a WSOP bracelet on his poker resume) raised to 3,500, Al Rash (a.k.a. AlCantHang) reraised to 8,000, and Holloway moved all in with 19,500.

Rash called with a slightly larger stack and showed AsAd. Holloway turned over 9h9c, and needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came 6c5s5h8sAc, and Holloway turned a gutshot straight draw, only to see Rash river a full house to win the pot with aces full of fives and eliminate Holloway from the tournament.

Al Rash  –  44,500  (22 bb)
Chad Holloway  –  Eliminated

The final nine players will finish in the money, earning cash and donated prizes. The prizepool will be posted soon.
