Nicholas Chiappetta moved all in under the gun for 865,000, Kevin Ruscitti called all in from UTG+1 for 65,000, and Tony Ruberto, who didn’t notice Chiappetta’s action, threw out 250,000 in an attempt to raise over Ruscitti’s bet. The dealer flagged it immediately.

A floorperson was called over, and Ruberto was given the option to forfeit his 250,000, or call the full all-in amount of 865,000. Ruberto tanked for a while before he called, and everyone else folded.

Tony Ruberto:  Ad8s

The board came AcQc9d2d3c, and Ruscitti won the main pot with a pair of aces with a jack kicker, tripling up to 410,000. Ruberto won the side pot with a pair of aces and an eight kicker, eliminating Chiappetta in 57th place.

Kevin Ruscitti  –  410,000
Nicholas Chiappetta  –  Eliminated in 57th Place  ($4,192)

Two or three hands later, Ruscitti got it all in with AxKx against Ruberto’s Ax10x, but this time Ruberto found a ten on the board to win the pot and eliminate Ruscitti in 56th place.

Tony Ruberto  –  4,300,000
Kevin Ruscitti  –  Eliminated in 56th Place  ($4,192)

With 55 players remaining from a field of 6,196, the average chip stack is worth about 2,255,000 (23 big blinds). The remaining players are all guaranteed at least $4,192 each, and the next pay jump will be $4,498 for 54th place.
