Late in the last level (blinds at 10K-20K), there was a big three-way all-in involving chipleader Pasquale Caiazza at Table 8.

Marcus Stein was all in from the small blind for 183,000 with AsKh, and Joseph Ebelhar was all in from the cutoff for about 450,000 with JhJd.

Both of them were covered by Caiazza, who also had the best hand — KsKd.

Pasquale Caiazza:  KsKd
Joseph Ebelhar:  JhJd
Marcus Stein:  AsKh

The board came AhQs4h9sAc, and Stein won the main pot with trip aces to triple up in chips. Caiazza won the smaller side pot with his pocket kings to make a small profit of about 80,000 on the hand as he eliminated Ebelhar in 29th place.

Marcus Stein  –  575,000  (28 bb)
Pasquale Caiazza  –  1,160,000  (58 bb)
Joseph Ebelhard  –  Eliminated in 29th Place  ($1,271)
