Steven Karp

Action folded to Steven Karp on the button; he moved all in, and Alfredo Rodriguez moved all in right after from the small blind with a similar stack.

Karp: AsTc
Rodriguez: 5d5s

It was a flip and Karp paired his ace on the Ad2d2h flop to take the lead with aces up. The Jc turn and 3c river finished the board and the dealer counted down the stacks.

Karp was the player at risk for 140,000 and Rodriguez had 145,000 to leave him with a single 5K chip.

Steven Karp – 300,000 (30 bb)

David Nathaniel

With about 150,000 in the pot and the board complete and reading AsTs5c5dTh, David Finely bet 75,000 and David Nathaniel moved all in for 370,000.

Finley went deep into the tank and thought for several minutes. Time for another big hand on Table 45 that we’ll detail later.

After several more minutes of going back and forth to his stack, Finley called to put Nathaniel at risk.

Nathaniel showed KcTc for a full house tens full of fives and Finley had 5h4h for a small full house, fives full of tens.

David Nathaniel – 890,000 (89 bb)
David Finley – 525,000 (53 bb)

James Carroll

James Carroll moved all in for 95,000 from under the gun, it folded around to Konstantin Shukhman in the big blind and he called.

Carroll: Ad8d
Shukhman: ThTs

Shukhman was ahead with his tens and Carroll needed to improve to double up. Carroll missed the 4s3c2d flop but picked up a wheel draw that got there on the 5s turn to give him the lead. Then the As river showed up giving both a wheel and the unfortunate chopped pot for Carroll.

Charlemagne Benjamin

Charlemagne Benjamin opened to 50,000 from under the gun and David Nathaniel three-bet to 120,000 next to act.

It folded to Benjamin, he moved all in for 193,000 and Nathaniel called.

“Mikey, here we go!” Benjamin yelled over to Michael Newman.

Nathaniel: AcAs
Benjamin: QhQc

A big ol’ cooler for Benjamin and the poker gods had a sense of humor with the AdKsQs flop when both made a set. The 6d turn and Kh river finished the board to send Benjamin out.

David Nathaniel – 780,000 (130 bb)
Charlemagne Benjamin  –  Eliminated in 29th Place ($2,332)
