Ryan Eriquezzo opened to 2,300 in middle position, and Mohammad Arani three-bet to 5,300 in the cutoff. The button called, and Eriquezzo called the remainder to see a three-way flop.

It came Ah8c7c. Arani continued for 6,200, the button folded, and Eriquezzo check-called to see the turn heads-up. It was the Jd, and both players checked. The river was the 8d, and Eriquezzo led for 17,000. Arani called instantly. It quickly became clear that Eriquezzo couldn’t win, so Arani took his cue to show AsKd to collect the pot with aces up.

On the next hand, Eriquezzo open-shoved for about 9,000 with 5d5c, and Joe Ebanks woke up with JsJh in the blinds.

“I’m going to hit a five,” Eriquezzo said as the flop came KdQs3d. “Or diamonds,” he said before the blank 2c turn. “Or nothing.” The river was the 4h, and it was “nothing”. Eriquezzo was eliminated.

Mohammad Arani – 155,000 (155 bb)
Joe Ebanks – 55,000 (55 bb)
Ryan Eriquezzo – Eliminated
